I've studied the iota chart the last 2 months and it feels at the moment as if it's gathering strength to try a new ATH. I am really looking forward to seeing where iota will take us the next year

just nobody interested here to talk and care about theymos' opinion about IOTA?

Theymos is just the admin of this forum, except that he demonstrated no expertise on the topic.

Is theymos right when he claims IOTA is centralized? I am referring to a thread of him where he was analyzing various altcoins https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/theymoss-list-of-altcoins-with-some-technical-merit-2095328

He wrote the following about IOTA:

IOTA

The tangle design is interesting and potentially useful, though I have several serious concerns about how it will actually work long-term:

 - In order to achieve lasting, stable scalability, something will need to be done to limit bandwidth. Otherwise you still have the problem that everyone needs to download everyone else's transactions in order to be a trustless node, and this simply doesn't scale no matter what else you do. How can you split the network so that one node can trustlessly ignore a lot of the network's total transactions, but transactions are still possible cross-split? Doing something like splitting the graph into a cycle of semi-separate segments might be possible, but it seems very difficult to do this and maintain security+convergence.
 - With a chain, if miners become evil and rewrite the last 6 blocks or something, everyone is going to notice and be affected, and so a unified response (PoW change, etc.) will be fairly easy. But with a graph, maybe an attacker could just nibble at the edges in such a way that 99.99% of users are able to think "well, it's not really my problem". In fact, it may not even be easily provable that an attack happened at all.
 - I am not convinced that a tangle is stable/convergent/secure in all circumstances. Even if it seems to work under all tests so far, it may well fall apart under a clever but not-too-difficult attack, or perhaps even just on its own. The whole idea that transaction volume is what adds security to the tangle makes me uneasy, since an attacker can always produce unlimited fake transactions, while the network will only produce a "natural" number of transactions unless additional measures are taken to generate good fake transactions.

Possibly due to the IOTA devs sharing similar concerns, IOTA's software currently relies on centralized checkpointing.

Besides the question above I still have not done the transition. The good amount of IOTA I own is still on my old account. Is there a security problem if I let the coin stored on my old address? Is it required to the transition?

Unfortunately, I have not gotten a response to my above question yet. Is this topic discussed in a different thread or is just nobody interested here to talk and care about theymos' opinion about IOTA?

A different question arose in the mean time. What do the AFY characters next to the seed input field in the IOTA client mean? Does it have something to do with the quality of the chosen seed?


It's a simple checksum equation. if you enter your seed correctly, you will see the same characters each time. If you typo it, different characters or, a warning about seed length will appear. Just helps with being accurate. From what you typed in your message, "AFY" is the output of the checksum operation run on your seed. If you see ANYTHING else, you entered the wrong seed.

Every good early coin I find has some sort of hurdle where I can't put money into it.

For this one its being in the U.S and bitfinex. Not going to bother registering there when I wouldnt be able to use it after a short while at all. So Im stuck waiting on this to hit more exchanges.

1st world problems I know.. But man, when you discover crypto; its amazing how much you are forced to wait at every turn.

Wait a week for I.D. Verification

Wait another week for your Cap to increase on Coinbase so you can actually BUY crypto

Wait on the coins you believe in to start their ICO/get listed on an exchange etc etc.

I suppose I'll look back and appreciate the market for teaching me the patience I will undoubtedly need to "HODL" anyways.

In any case, Ill be joining as soon as I can buy some IOTA on Bittrex/Binance/Cryptopia.  Cheesy

You could register with any exchange you like buy btc or ether and send it to bitfiniex (dont need ID verification for that) and then buy IOTA and withdraw it to your private wallet.

Once IOTA will be on new exchanges price will rally, I think many ppl are waiting for another exchange listing.

I just love how every other thread has all of their features and sh** promoting it in the thread title, yet here we are in this single word thread. Still so many people not realizing how much bigger this is going to be.
