People must be smoking good kush in here if you think we 'stole' their logo. I don't even think I've ever seen that logo before. The IOTA logo is the Tangle structure seen from infront. Imagine that you cut a rope/tangle/braid in half and then look at it from the front, that's what the IOTA logo represents; tangle growing toward you. Secondly the amount 'large strands' are 3 = trinary which are made up of further 9 smaller strands = IOTA is 9th letter, you may have noticed the importance of 9 several times in IOTA. So no, we have not 'stolen' anyone's logo.

To correct you, it was a member of the IOTA community  to  brought  up the  claim  natiluscoin would have stolen  the logo .

it looks like NAUT stealed the IOTA logo. I think there should be taken action.

Its really obvious they stole the logo.

It's still good for me. I do focus switch while coding (this improves productivity) and these trolls help me because I don't need to put much effort into replies to them.

Whatever bitterness, hate and fud is spread there. please take it as a hint to improve the public apperance. I am aware what david said about why there is no usable version of jiniri, no documentation, and no website etc.. It doesn't matter if  you can improve the  archictecture  etc. No one cares about when the chip is out that  it's much more powerful, but  even with a simple basic instruction set you can gain intretested tech people. And you have some software  ready when it happens.

Weren't you the one who complained about missing engagement?

Some days ago  david mentioned the ternary math library that was supported by Jinn labs. Why is there no developers blog where to mention such things? Google  will not find it there in the muddy water of the ryver (sorry, i don't like this tool).

3. Every transaction can have extra data attached, this can be used to host data interpreted by other blockchains/platforms

How do you want this to work? The PoW is ternary based, the data (in case for other blockchains is) binary so it would have to be encoded in ternary to compute a hash over it. And then you  encode the ternary data in binary for transmission over UDP?

Somewhere you mention to use UDP over IPv6, how do 'Messages' and 'Transactions' relate? Multiple messages (and  signatures) per transaction? Seems to me that this will cause a bloat in the tangle database. But of course no models for typical network use scenarios. so its only a feeling.

How many Transactions per second you expect Iota will be able to handle in:

after release?
after 1 year?
after 5 years?

TPS is not capped, high load just increases confirmation time.

PS: We should stop thinking in blockchain categories. There are no blocks, transaction size is not capped, number of transactions is not capped.

Re: Ideas for Iota usecases?

1. Toothbrush
2. Tokens
3. Plz don't explode
4. ?
5. PROFIT

And who would pay for what data of the toothbrush? Merchants to place personalized ads? Life and health insurances to adjust their rates they 'need' to charge?  Should the toothbrush order a new one? Maybe i will leave the old  toothbrush online to collect  IOTAs for the actual state until i can buy a new toothbrush from the collected  iotas?

While i have no doubt that IoT will be a huge market i would be much happier it the examples from the lot of  use cases would be better.

I am not so hopeful. The fact that more than 30% of ALL Jinn are invested in the ICO means that even at current rate close to half of all Jinn owners would rather trade them out for BTC (or BTC equivalent asset) at a price under market price, than hold them.

While there might good reasons  to sell the JINN Assets and to realize the 5 time ROI, i think the swap with Jinn tokens is a risky idea. Jinn holders get profits from hardware sales, the buyer of IOTA token get only the token but nothing  from the hardware sales etc. even if substantial amounts of the raised funds will go into the  further development of the Jinn processor.

And what will happen in the illiquid Jinn market if the IOTA team needs to cash out. 200+ BTC worth of Jinn would in the current market absolutely destroy the price (If there is even buyers for anything close to that amount).

Do they need to cash out? Do they need to do it in  only a few days? Maybe the BTC will go to developers which will hold them?
I think the IPO/crowdsale  was prematurea and with something presentable the would have collected more solid funds but thats their decision.

discussing the underlying technology

Why didn't use CfB for his code snippets/code the Jiniri environment?

IOTA uses a blockless design that incorporates a specific type of Directed Acyclic Graph called 'Tangle' which allows for a lot of tx per second with no fees, making it ideal for micro-transactions. Looking forward to a productive and indepth discussion of the technology that fuels IOTA.

Do you develop sample applications for IOTA that runs on MCUs? And if yes, which MCUs?
