I entered the cryptocurrency field in 2013 and watched the price of Bitcoin skyrocket from a low of $100 to over $1000. There was a rush to invest in Bitcoin companies, then in 2014 the price crashed back to $250. Investors that had become interested in the technology started to think, “OK, Bitcoin is dead, but the blockchain concept is an advance. How do we take that coin out and keep the blockchain?”.
Three years of investment later, the world still doesn't have any major live applications of a private blockchain. But what if this was the wrong question? What if the real question was “how do we take the blockchain out of Bitcoin”? What if we could have cryptocurrency, secure/transparent data transfer and decentralized autonomous organizations without a blockchain? This is what the team behind IOTA, a cryptocurrency with a market cap of over $1.2bn USD at the time of writing this, set out to determine.

NetObjex Showcases Decentralized IoT Platform to Global Audiences

https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/netobjex-showcases-decentralized-iot-platform-to-global-audiences-300534141.html


NetObjex participated in the Bangkok Smart Energy Hackathon in partnership with IOTA of Norway in late August 2017. NetObjex demonstrated its Smart Metering solution featuring the GlenCan smart meters interfaced with the NetObjex IoT-Blockchain platform. This solution leveraged the ultra secure, transaction-fee-less IOTA decentralized network and its MIOTA cryptocurrency, and mobile SDKs from NetObjex. This solution provides a secure, low cost alternative for smart metering to communities and municipalities globally and disintermediates middlemen by providing a direct payment option between electric utilities and consumers.

IOTA is really ahead of the curve.

Did they mentioned IOTA in their Strategic Technology Trends? Did not found any occurance.
And that Eric Wall did not convinced me much. Forbes seems to follow an agenda. We might see plenty of critical Forbes publications in the future.

But what I really wanted to ask you is what "Invalid Transfers Object" signals. I do not want any answers along "change the node, again" or "reattach again, and again". This simply does. Not. Work. I'm seriously pissed.
Been the earliest IOTA bought, and completely transitioned. Pulling out of this mess now, before it goes down completely. At least the other wallet emptied out nicely. It's really dependant upon one single seed.

some GI iota lost???

I checked my iota today....and it seemed to log into the wrong address.

ALSO I CHECKED THE TANGLE ADDRESS and it comes up AS INVALID.

Excellent read.
In a previous post of mine I asked what is a supporting argument used by those who say that IOTA will never function without the coordinator. In the above article there is a quote by Eric Wall:
"Withstanding an attacker with specialized hardware attacking the network at a constant speed is wishful thinking. In June, I made the prediction that IOTA will fail to disable the Coordinator in 2018. I am not convinced the Coordinator can ever be safely disabled, which means that IOTA may potentially stay centralized indefinitely."
So if I understood his argument correctly, such an attack can't be fully mitigated unless IOTA is massively adopted and there are millions if not billions of devices running the Jinn chip. Seems like a good problem/challenge to have Smiley

I know that Eric "FUDster" Wall, he always writes interesting articles.  Cheesy

You will be given 400 Testnet IOTAs to get started right away. 400i are currently less than €0.0002, and yes, it is possible to transact amounts this small and even lower on IOTA. Simply click “Fund the Channel” in the SatoshiPay panel, which opens when clicking the round orange button at the bottom right of the screen. From there simply follow the instructions on screen and experience IOTAs fee-free transactions on the web.

The question for me is how much more stupid money will switch into BTC because of the forks. At least after the forks IOTA will become big i guess.
Bitcoin will never stop forking. They found a new toy.

I have a technical question:
Is there a danger that I will lose my Iota held on passphrase generated in early version of the wallet?
Or can I left them and eventually make a new passphrase to spend it in the future?

More than a danger. I've been dealing with exactly this problem for months now trying to get my iota back Sad


Why exactly is there an issue if you still have the seed? Why does it make a difference if you generated the seed with an earlier wallet or anytime later? Or do you mean in general it's insecure to generate it with the wallet?


thank you

They switched to a new hashing algorithm I think in response to the MIT paper debacle. Thus the same seed will now produce entirely different key pairs and addresses. Fortunately it seems that my problem (and presumably now your problem as well) will be addressed in a new version of the wallet with a "IOTA Recovery Tool" for recovering funds from old outdated seeds. At-least that is what I have been told. You came at a good time. I spent months worrying, if everything works out you will only have to spend a few weeks worrying. I'll link to the relevant post.

Those in the list #2 should watch for the news about Iota Recovery Tool in the wallet. It's expected to be released this month.

Those in the list #1 should add me on Skype. My ID is
Code:
come-from-beyond
. Upon adding my contact send your email and your new IOTA address which was sent from that very email.

PS: I hope you won't waste my time by adding me on Skype while not being in the list #1...

PPS: Make sure you add the correct Skype contact, don't reveal the seed without making sure it's really me.
