It is good to hear about other interesting project connected with IOTA, hopefully some attention will be brought as deserved.
Interesting enough, it was JINN that brought about iota. The guys who are making JINN decided that for JINN to be successful, they would need a cryptocurrency/messaging system/[fill in the blank with the most correct descriptor] for JINN to succeed.
All that to say. I think if you like the idea of iota, you'll love JINN once it's available.
