People here can tell the difference between IoT and IOTA, they think its the same thing

A bit sad. That's why I understand the frustration this project causes for some people. There are business already out there, who would be more than happy to implement IoT solutions even on a small scale, but there aren't many choices atm. IOTA promises a lot, but they will take another 2-3 years to do develop. I would actually love to see more similar projects focusing on IoT, AI, etc. , not some useless coins which is going to be obsolete when blockchain and crypto becomes loses its relevance in a few years
