IOTA Discord custom commands
The IOTA discord server uses the Dyno-bot. This bot is a beneficial tool to manage discord servers. Besides essential functions for the admins of the server, it hosts the ability to execute custom commands for every user. We have enabled several commands to display pre-configured messages containing answers to the discord's most asked questions.
A custom command message can be initiated by using the !
sign directly followed by the command text.
Here is the list of currently availeable commands:
!banhammered
!becomemod
- Mods for the official communication channels of IOTA are carefully chosen by the IOTA founders and are based on their trustworthiness and contribution to the community, there are no applications to become a mod. If you contribute to the community you might eventually be approached to become one if you want to. Please do not ask us to become a mod.

!bep
- If you exchange tokens on Binance and it does not recognize Firefly's address, then you have bought IOTA tokens wrapped on Binance's BEP-20 network. To get tokens to Firefly one needs IOTA tokens that reside on IOTA's network (called the Tangle). To achieve this, send the tokens back to Binance and withdraw them to the Tangle network. Should Binance have issues with withdrawals, get in touch with Binance's support.

!firefly-funds
This can occasionally happen and will be fixed in further releases. To fix it and get direct access to your funds do the following: Make sure that you have a backup of your 24 Seed words and also the stronghold backup file created in the initial profile setup for the migration. If you are sure you have this please uninstall Firefly from your operating System. Now you need to delete the remaining Firefly folder on your OS located here:
Windows: "C:\Users[username]\AppData\Roaming\Firefly
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Firefly
Linux: ~/.config/Firefly
After you have deleted those folder please install Firefly again from the newest release on the Firefly Website, create a profile and use the “Migrate or restore a wallet” Function.
Now use your Firefly recovery phrase or your File backup (stronghold File)
To restore your Migration profile.
The funds will appear as Balance and you can start using Firefly with your tokens.
