- IOTA has no miners. Every participant in the network that is making a transaction, actively participates in the consensus. As such, IOTA is more decentralized than any Blockchain.
Srsly??? Lack of miners is not an advantage, it's a cause of unfair initial coin distribution. And it is not decentralized at all, do not forget about coordinator node.
- IOTA utilized a newly designed trinary hash function called Curl, which is quantum immune.
It's not unique. And any cryptocurrency is able to change it's hashing algorithm when it will be necessary.
And, actually, all those technical details do not matter. What matters is that IOTAs can be stolen, and that was done practically multiple times, and it's done even by it's founders. It can not be relied on.
