omfg..
Firstly Iota does not need to have an address attached or confirmed before sending any transactions to it.
Secondly, what your problem is a non-sync'd node! same shit you get when you have a non-synced Bitcoin or Ethereum node.
If you did not learn to use the wallets, DONT INVEST!
We even have a #donation channel in the iota slack where people give you real iotas to test the fuck out of the wallet before you go investing.
wow
None of the light nodes seems to work right now.
And yes it seems like Bitfinex is the one causing the trouble.
