Hi altcoinUK,

I posted a rough draft of the 3D printed "prototype" enclosure from our "Industrial Designer". This may look like an amateur attempt for what should be a professional enclosure for the IoT devices. This is not the case. This validates dimensions and usability/weather proofing techniques that need to be thought of at the very beginning.
When producing a final product, many stages of validation occur to reduce the final cost of output for a particular product that is manufactured.
It is absolutely necessary to produce a "prototype" prior to actually committing to manufacturing of the physical enclosure. Reduces risk and iterations that incur NRE (Non-Recurring Engineering) cost.

On another specific note, we have a pcb that validates each IoT device on a mesh network using hardware that has cryptographically signed information.
Here is the "rough" draft board design.

What this does, is provide a more difficult way of attacking a mesh network versus attacking multiple sensors within the network with a chip signing mechanism.

You had asked about the time aspect of validation. If based on btc, there is a 10 minute delay...
When the Smart Contracts and Micro transactions functionalities are combined, this enables very fast data verification and validation with minimal bitcoin blockchain bloat.

If you have received quotes from other people in regards to time, I do not think they have asked you what type of IoT device that would exist in the mesh network to be able to respond accurately to your question.

In the case of our chip, it takes between 10-20 milliseconds to produce a signature that can be authenticated. Depending on the number of devices and their specific roles within the mesh network, this can vary considerably. We are working on datasheets that will accurately identify potential bottlenecks that pertain to the different type of devices and their roles in a mesh network for the IoT.

I hope this helps.

Regards,
ASIC-8Tile

Thanks for replying and sorry for not noticing your post earlier. As I said, I have been interested in your tech from day one, just the level of innovation put me off. However, I can see you work hard and that's one of the most important ingredients of success, and your professional attitude makes me more and more interested in your project.

As for this board, if I see correctly you use Eagle CAD like most hobbyists do. If I invest in your coin and if it required at all, I am happy to get you a few Altium Designer licenses so you will have the proper tool to get the job done.

I assume you will use Atmel security chips to perform the cryptography function - not too many other alternatives for dedicated crypto devices. Here is a friendly advice with the best intention: be very careful with Atmel. I invested last year in a start-up here in the UK. The boys designed their solution around the previous Atmel Zigbee chip which is based on the ATMega1284, and then Atmel suddenly discontinued the product. Atmel is notorious to do that. So obviously you do what you want, but I would avoid Atmel, especially that their crypto chips are low sellers and they could discontinue them at any time.

Anyway, that issue about Atmel is actually academic because the whole device doesn't make sense (or at least from your description I misunderstood what it does), and to show my good faith, to save you $ 100,000 and from an entirely wrong direction I say this: your approach to handle the mesh network nodes with your custom hardware is completely wrong and unnecessary. What you aim to achieve the industry typically handles with Zigbee modules which make custom designs like yours is completely obsolete. Why do you invent the wheel when the members of Zigbee Allience invested over 1 billion US$ to address low power radio communication and mesh network topology issues? The Zigbee protocol and Zigbee devices are perfectly capable to handle everything what you try to achieve. You see, I just saved your coin from a completely wrong direction and tons of headaches :-))) and I did it in a good faith.

Anyway, thanks for your civil and professional reply, I will read more about what you try to achieve and if everything adds up I will be happy to throw some money into this as well, just like I am interested in all IoT, M2M, smart contract, AI, etc. novel ideas.

Yesterday you where screaming SCAM ... blah ... blah

As you can read it, my last post and suggestions about the hardware has more substance, constructivism and brought more to the table (regardless the DEVs take on board my suggestions or not) than the combined effort of the clueless Chinamen brigade had brought to the table up to date.
I suggest you go back to the BitBay thread. Oh wait ... even the BitBay community - that hypes the price desperately - disowns you and ask you to leave the thread - that says a lot about you.

Or perhaps, you a BitBay boy and you are worry that my suggestions to the DEV makes this process better, they will have a better hardware and therefore they could be more competitive?

Shit! blah ... blah ... blahh

It seems this coin has a hard working, decent, professional DEV and an idiotic Chinamen brigade who learnt from the western world how to use computer, drive car, assemble iPhones - basically everything, except they didn't learn to be rational.

Still, because of the DEV and the Counterparty technology, the fact that TileCoin (if I understood correctly) will be able to handle Bitcoin in the context of IoT application makes this coin perhaps a viable investment opportunity.
