I think people, who speculate about advantages of DAG, misunderstood the concept of the blockchain network.
I cannot speak for all DAGs but Obyte DAG has.
Thanks for bringing this up. Never thought a DAG-based cryptocurrency with an incentive mechanism existed until now. All that OBYTE needs is some mass adoption by validators worldwide, and it should become a "force to reckon with".
Honestly, I don't think any DAG-based crypto is as serious about decentralization as OBYTE these days.
L2 scaling solutions, sharding, and ZK-Proofs are great, but they do not address the same problems that DAG does.
If you mean solving scaling and privacy problems, then traditional blockchains can already do that with the aforementioned methods.
I think even better because blockchains are more focused on decentralization and censorship-resistance.
DAG is more focused on decentralization of power and censorship-resistance than blockchain (again, I'm speaking of Obyte DAG only). In DAG, users have the power to add transactions to the ledger themselves while in blockchains they have have to rely on block producers. And block producers can collude to censor certain users.

Honestly, I don't think any DAG-based crypto is as serious about decentralization as OBYTE these days. I've stumbled across IOTA, Constellation, and even Hedera Hashgraph but I've found that nodes are largely controlled by a few players. They're faster and cheaper than traditional blockchains networks, but they're very weak in terms of security/reliability. I'm starting to believe DAGs are experimental and not ready for mainstream use. Maybe someday coins built on this tech will rise all the way to fame?

If you mean solving scaling and privacy problems, then traditional blockchains can already do that with the aforementioned methods. Off-chain scaling, ZK-Proofs, and Sharding will make traditional blockchain networks as comparable as DAGs. I think even better because blockchains are more focused on decentralization and censorship-resistance. The new tech is just starting to blossom, so I'd give it some time to see what happens.
I guess the damage made by IOTA to the DAG space is still felt.
No, other DAG based ledgers are not necessarily centralized by design. As my article argues, the right DAGs are even more decentralized (in terms of distribution of power) than blockchains.

If I'm not mistaken, DAGs don't have any sort of incentivization mechanism.
Without rewarding the validators' hard work and effort, how could we expect underlying cryptocurrencies using the tech to remain decentralized?
Validation is not such a hard work.Making sure that transactions are valid before you accept them, or before you add your own on top of them, seems like a sufficient reason to validate.
IOTA announced its intentions to become decentralized by removing the "Coordinator" on the "Tangle" chain
They've been announcing that since 2017, maybe even 2016.Again, don't take IOTA as a fair representative of DAG tech.
There doesn't seem to be much interest into DAG-based cryptocurrencies among investors and traders alike
Unfortunately that's true but we are here to build decentralized tech, not to be liked by investors and traders. I believe they'll eventually catch up.With L2 scaling solutions, Sharding, and ZK-Proofs, who needs DAGs anyways?

Advantages include quick transactions, no mining required, and can handle small payments. I've been getting into projects that include DAG networks such as IoT Chain because I truly believe the future of blockchain will be DAG.
No mining required? Then who will be keep running their wallets or full nodes to make transactions travelling from one peer to another? In a decentralized environment, you cannot expect volunteers to contribute consistently which is the reason mining was introduced. We may assume that out of tens of thousands of people, at least some 10% will open and run their wallet which will be enough to transmit a transaction but there will be no guarantee that to happen all the times. For a working system, we need assured contribution which ended up as incentivized mining.I am not believing into blockchain 2 or blockchain 3; honestly what were the projects which were based on blockchain 2? They are still successful and up till date?
Anything that's centralized is NOT a blockchain. It's simply a distributed database controlled by single entity. IOTA, and most other DAG-based cryptocurrencies are centralized by design. They're just like Ripple's "XRP" cryptocurrency (even though this one doesn't use a DAG). Why would you want speed and cost-efficiency when you're missing the most important thing (which is security/reliability)?
I guess that's why DAG-based cryptocurrencies are below the top ranks in market cap. Solana which fares worst than the aforementioned coins, is still at the top because whales are keeping it that way. But it could die soon, if it continues to be an unreliable cryptocurrency for mainstream payments. I think Blockchain 3.0 will consist of L2 scaling solutions, ZK-Proofs, and cross-chain transactions. The rest is just noise. Who knows what the future holds for the industry? Just my opinion

Other smart contract networks are centralized too and they can be stopped anytime by their teams like Terra, Solana when problems occur. I agree that it is hard to have decentralized networks for alternative cryptocurrency and impossible to have another decentralized network like Bitcoin network.
People want to have decentralization and say this project, that project is bad because its network is so centralized. However they are really ready to use Ethereum, its network, ready to use centralized exchanges when they see benefit.
They are easily to ignore risk when they see profits are bigger.
I guess there are other reasons make DAG-based projects don't have good adoption and don't attract investors.

I have a good experience with one of the coin who have "DAG" system.
NANO is my coin a long time ago, but before they using "NANO" as the name of their current is actually named as "Raiblock (XRB)". It's really fund and easily to transaction + cheaper and fast without needed to wait the miners.
But, they using a system 1 transaction for 1 block. Most hating part is keeping the wallet update ~LOL even they provided updating with download mechanism from their site but still is take a lot time for me.

I'm glad that you had good experience with Nano, however note that Nano is not really a DAG. A majority of Nano's Representatives can collude to censor someone's transactions -- simply by not voting for them. Like block producers in blockchains, Representatives are powerful -- every transaction needs their approval to be added to the ledger. In a DAG, as noted in this article, users have the power to directly add transactions to the ledger.
Lol are you shilling for IoT Chain? DAG is not blockchain and blockchain is not DAG. DAG was working on the different system that has been used the server to validating the transaction. That's obviously centralized coin if the server managed by the developer itself.
instead call DAG as blockchain 3.0 and i was saying if that was another bullshit.

Couple of years ago there was a new Eth alternative called Helios Protocol. It was dag based and each and every wallet had it's own parellel blockchain all connected by DAG. It had massive scalability and even had the possibility for web sites to be hosted on the chain,making ddos impossible ect ect. No one was interested and the dev just lost interested and gave up. Real shame but imo new tech is viewed suspiciously and the eth fan boys would never be persuaded. How are those fan boys getting on now eh??
The code is public so maybe a dev can go look at the github and maybe take it on??

DAG is certainly not Blockchain 3.0, it is not blockchain either.
In fact, there are fundamental differences between DAG and blockchain. Blockchain users only create transactions but have to rely on block producers to add them to the ledger, while DAG users both create transactions and add them to the ledger with no middlemen involved.
This leads to vastly different distribution of power in DAG vs blockchain. One of my recent articles discusses this issue:
Obyte (Byteball) is DAG project and it does not require mining equipments, electricity to mine blocks and confirm transactions. I care about security of DAG technology and would you mind explaining how DAG can provide a safer technology for users than Proof of Work, Proof of Stake and other algorithms, please.In fact, there are fundamental differences between DAG and blockchain.

Any chance to revert its transactions and attack DAG network?
How many confirmations for a transaction by DAG network can be considered as safe?
With Bitcoin transactions, many platforms use 3 confirmations.
Good question. In DAGs, every transaction includes hashes of one or more previous transactions. This makes it impossible to rewrite history and revert previous transactions.
There is no such thing as "how many confirmations" in a DAG. Once the order of a transaction has been established, it is final.

dag+pbft consensus is going to change the game. ready for the ITC ride this year. even crypto lark is going to make a video about them
Do you guys think DAG will replace ALL blockchains in the future? I'm curious
itc is a hidden gem that I suggest everyone jump on.
dag is the way forward. I think itc will be the first to utilize it well and create the standard
I've been looking into DAG these pst few months and wow. What a technology to get behind. ITC is a good project but more importantly fills a huge need in the market.
I think in a few years time, DAG will rule the blockchain world. By just looking at what they're working on, this is going to revolutionize the industry. Smaller transactions being able to be facilitated will make projects and their tokens can be used for every day transactions. ITC is very underrated and I plan on buying more. Wouldn't want to miss out on this one
I don't think so.
Blockchain 3.0 = Data + Smartcontract + Cloud None + Open Chaine Access + Blocklet => The presentative is Arcblock.
ARCBLOCK is born to support the blockchain rather than to compete. So this will be a potential project in 2018

Will crypto currencies based on DAG replace blockchain ? Hard to say. Although there are obvious advantages when it comes to these DAG systems, they are still far from being a popular alternative, and very few projects are working on it. Nevertheless, these projects have earned their place in the cryptosphere, especially IOTA, the incoming top-15 crypto currency by market capitalization.
I agree with this. I am very interested in seeing how ITC does with DAG. The tech sounds pretty revolutionary to me. They'll certainly be one of the first to do it.

DAG and blockchain are similar but different. But I think it's easier to call it blockchain 3.0 so people can understand what it means.
I read that IoT Chain is DAG+PBFT

I really think the future of blockchain tech will be DAG (directed acyclic graphs). In short, this is what DAG tech is:
"In mathematics and computer science, a directed acyclic graph, is a finite directed graph with no directed cycles. It consists of finitely many vertices and edges, with each edge directed from one vertex to another, such that there is no way to start at any vertex v and follow a consistently-directed sequence of edges that eventually loops back to v again. A DAG is a directed graph that has a topological ordering, a sequence of the vertices such that every edge is directed from earlier to later in the sequence."

I think you don't have any idea about how DAG works. Actually not server validating transaction but senders validating it. And sender should validete 2 transfers which made before him. And that mining uses very low power so no need ASICs or so.

I don’t think that DAG represent itself any danger to the traditional cryptocurrency technology and that it is a real competitor to blockchain. Of course many people think the blockchain is slow but there are many ways to improve it.

I think the structure of DAG is just like the ArchBlock because they're both using the Blockchain 3.0 technology. Hopefully, this project will be a successful one as well.
Its a very interesting topic and also its very informative since DAG launched in this crypto world many people don't know what is it all about but interms of blockchain all knew about it but behind on it there was a difference work of process in the internet systems and might be one of this will be the good in the future with this time of high technology application hence DAG is the latest systems protocol.
I once called iota, byteball, and nano (formerly raiblocks) dag projects and to be blockchain 3.0 and a techie guy got mad with me and schooled me on coding.
...I couldn't understand half of what he said.
But, on more research he was quite right, a lot of these projects use similar technologies but there are some key differences, not all of them are strictly dag.
But, I still stick to these kinds of projects as being blockchain 3.0, the third generation of decentralized platforms.
For me, the biggest barrier I see for mainstream crypto adoption is simple: it is faster, easier, and cheaper to pay using paypal, visa, mastercard etc.
Eventually, this wild speculation and crypto bubble will burst, and I want a future where crypto is actually used.
I just don't see that happening when it takes 30 min. to and hour for a transaction to go through, or pay a ridiculous amount to have it go through faster.
feeless, scalable, fast, that is what I see to be the future of crypto.
So for me, dag all the way.

Something I've seen from the DAG, but this topic made me grow curious to investigate more about it and if you hear well the numerous benefits you list, if it is real then surely this kind of technology will have an incredible future!

It consists of finitely many vertices and edges, with each edge directed from one vertex to another, such that there is no way to start at any vertex v and follow a consistently-directed sequence of edges that eventually loops back to v again. A DAG is a directed graph that has a topological ordering, a sequence of the vertices such that every edge is directed from earlier to later in the sequence."

Advantages include quick transactions, no mining required, and can handle small payments. I've been getting into projects that include DAG networks such as IoT Chain because I truly believe the future of blockchain will be DAG.
Thoughts??
Lol are you shilling for IoT Chain? DAG is not blockchain and blockchain is not DAG. DAG was working on the different system that has been used the server to validating the transaction. That's obviously centralized coin if the server managed by the developer itself. "In mathematics and computer science, a directed acyclic graph, is a finite directed graph with no directed cycles.

instead call DAG as blockchain 3.0 and i was saying if that was another bullshit.
Learn how DAG works and the difference with the blockchain.
DAG has good idea, but question is how secure it actually is. I mean it might even be secure as of this moment of writing but we don't know yet. DAG protocol might be used more in future but I am sure "old" protocols such as blockchain will be used as well. People will decide which one is better by the price of each token/coin that is there. DAG actually is not blockchain and this is why I wouldn't call DAG to be blockchain 3.0
I heard many times security problem of DAG. That's Why I also bought some IoT Chain - ITC. They using DAG as XRB and IOTA but they have a small fee. And that fee will allow them to built more secure system. Actually IOT Chain is using a bit more developed form of DAG not pure DAG.
I believe DAG Chain is better idea than block chain and will outperform blockchain in near future. I don't hold much but XRB is game changer. Better than any P2P payment coins. More speed, 0 fee. What else any payment coin can need?
I think dag coins/tech is still fairly new and iot chain is a must-watch in terms of what they're doing with it. I do not doubt that iot chain will kill the game for internet of things. By just looking at IOTA, there are many inherent problems like the centralized architecture and just plain security of the project. Lots of hope for DAG and ITC
Centralized arhitecture has been addressed. They will completely remove the Coordinator this year (it will be steady, not all at once).Regarding security...umm...What do you mean? First of all, IOTA is quantum-proof (Winternitz One time Signature Protocol). Of course, this reduces the usability a bit, as you (for now) have to be careful not to screw up and lose your funds. However, plans are in place for Merkle Signature Scheme (which will enable a superaddress that doesn't need to be changed every time). The Coordinator is also in charge with the security, protecting the Tangle from 33% attacks and others.
DAG has came with a bright idea that seems to be a strong alternative to blockchain technology , but some points must be fixed in order to maximise its productivity , among others :
1) High traffic is needed before it can run operation.
2) Vulnerability to attacks .

one of my fav reads about itc would be by hackernoon (https://hackernoon.com/the-alternative-crypto-iot-chain-itc-b6c8621120ae)
thought this was a great breakdown of the coin. they're gaining momentum which is great for the rest of us.

thanks for sharing. gotta look more into the intricacies of dag tech, but invested into ITC for a while now. I got into them because of the idea and team.
