Bitcoin is obsolete. It will take some time to overpass it by coins like Ethereum and IOTA, but it's just a question of time.


I agree on the Iota part. Not if, but when

1. Ethereum is 1 billion marketcap.

2. http://windows.microsoft.com/nl-nl/windows-10/microsoft-store-doesnt-accept-bitcoin

3. Bitpay fired staff http://www.coindesk.com/bitcoin-processor-bitpay-reduces-staff-in-cost-cutting-effort/

I pledge 1000 IOTA (payable after launch) for a short description understandable for the average bitcoiner of

1) how and why consensus in IOTA works
2) how and why it solves scalability
3) why zero fees are possible

We could post this on reddit etc.

Feel free to add IOTA to the pledge, if you think this is important.

Everyone should add at least a small amount to this.

I'm pledging 250 Iota

Also, what makes it quantum resistant, and how that works. I feel this should be written in a way that is easy to understand.

Maybe someone can come up with a simple analogy that helps to explain how Tangle works?

Maybe add none of these things, just things we can think about.

Great effort. I would pledge more, but Im no whale, and want to support other efforts as well.

If there are some bounties then it would be great. Otherwise, I would volunteer. I already did some writings and translation work for the Nxt wiki.

Okay, nevertheless, let me know if you need some help for creating an informational or educational resource for IOTA.

Thanks, finally, I was able to get it to run. I would like to see a wiki (or something similar) after release where all that stuff is described in detail. It was some effort to run it because there was an unexpected priviledge issue.

I would like to help to build up such an information resource.

Priviledge issue will be removed closer to the release, no need to add it into the wiki.

For sure. Do you volunteer? Documentation and educational material will be key to adoption.

Questions on Iota starting to pop up in Bitcoin subreddits. Not sure how to answer questions though. Could someone who knows better tackle it?

https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/4a15gm/how_can_iota_crypto_currency_work_without_a/

Nice discussion, good exposure to the bitcoin community for IOTA.

I agree. I would like to see some bitcoin supporters get their queries answered. Smiley

Just saw this on twitter - Scientists Create a 5-atom Quantum Computer That Could Make Today's Encryption Obsolete

Sorry about thread-jacking, but Ethereum hit a billion dollars in market cap.

I thought you guys would want to know that. Wink

You mean iri.coordinator in config file?

No. In the console.html.

Finally, in 0.7.0 someone has trigger one of the honeypots. The effort for that wasn't big, it requires only to play with configuration file a little and with non-zero chance it was triggered accidentally. Anyway, it's a good moment to run a node if you haven't been running it yet. Check http://forum.iotatoken.com/t/meet-your-neighbours-exchange-ip-domain-of-your-nodes-here/60/1 to get IPs for your nodes.iri file.

Quick question; will the GUI (to be released) be a separate client or will it just replace the console UI in for the current client?

As a separate client. Console will stay there.

I don't understand why would you choose the default port to be value below 1024 which means you cannot run this on unix system without super user privileges.

Even when I change the port in the config file, it still tries to bind to 999 so the server crashes.

You probably changed the api port.

API runs over 999 TCP per default, unless you change in your config file, nodes exchange data ( transactions, messages ) over 999 udp.
Thats why it tries to bind to 999.

Are you stupid or what? That's the issue ... the software should not run on a port which requires root privilege.


I answered as to why it still tries to bind to port 999, not as to why it uses port 999, I did not code IRI so i can not answer this, however this might be
one reason to use 999:

EDIT: just saw cfb answerd this already

Java Security Manager is PITA, if you run Java app with reduced privileges be ready to face a lot of unexpected problems caused by JSM. Being a reference implementation, IRI has as much error handling stripped out as possible. Together with JSM in paranoic mode this would make the testing a nightmare.

Port in the config file is for API only.
