seriously?
many people (myself included) consider C# a cheap M$- java knockoff.
Not that I would badmouth such a thing, but it seems a bit redundant...
Getting a native c version looks much more effective.

into what exactly?

vanilla C is and will be unbeatable in terms of portability and extensibility compard to C#.
sure, adding additional layers (and therefore complexity) to run on nix for instance is
doable but this is not what i am talking about. a lean dependency free 33.3 kb C lib
which compiles from source on all major OS without bloat, ready to use is what i mean.

however, don't want to start a language war here but if your requirements are those
like portability, usability, extensibility etc. to unlock many other devs and projects
you have to go good-old-plain-ansi-C.

We're talking with RLH who has offered to do C# port.

seriously?

Lol, this guy. I'd be inclined to agree if it were still ~2004. My opinion, and preference, is both based on observations, conversions (from Java to C#) and working in an analytics department that was 80% java developers and 10% .Net.

We .Net devs would have to sit through the agony of Java lectures about new Java 8 features... that we've used for 5 years. Or, we'd be asked to migrate tasks from Java to C#, so that our C# team could manage processes. Often, line-for-line conversions were faster in execution and rarely did we even care to optimize the converted code since time is money.

Disclaimer: This was for a BIG corporation and our department ran everything strictly on Windows Server machines. I will concede (from running some personal tests) that there is a fair chance that Java would be on par with .Net apps, or likely better, in OS X or Linux systems running on top of Mono.

Of course, I ran those tests about 1-2 years ago and a LOT has changed regarding .Net on these platforms in the past year since M$ is moving a lot of code to Github.

IOTA as lib

don't know how many LOC the current core has but a serious bounty to port the core
to C would be very usefull. many service and communication related apps out there
could benefit form a painless 'snap-in' solution.

not only for micro/nanopayments like mentioned here:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.13076239

sure, adding a small com layer connecting to a remote host is a another solution
but able to run a full node, wrapped into a language/OS agnostic lib gives
any app dev much better control no matter in what lang those apps are written.

I think @nexern seriously hit the nail on the head there!

c is a timeless basic technology and is supported with minor build modifications over all platforms, and has a smaller footprint because of the lacking java dependency!

+1440!

BitFury to Prototype Bitcoin Mining Device for Internet of Things
http://www.coindesk.com/bitfury-bitcoin-mining-internet-of-things/

BitFury deserves accolades for being innovative and pushing boundaries, but this 'mining in IoT device' is in my opinion non-sense.

If devs and community decided to move the core to C/C++, I would also put my bounty in total sum. Also, if it would take time, if I had to wait, I think it would be great to have an alternative from Java to C/C++. It would be great if it were possible. CfB, what do you think about it?

Maybe, early-birds will make 10000* ROI profit Grin

Definitely not an investment. No way. It's a token, for users. Got it?

Definitely you are the best troll around! Grin

More projects showing interest in using IOTA and we are preparing for IOTA presentation at upcoming IoT events in the coming months. Anyone that wants to actively participate in moving IOTA forward: send me a PM and I will invite you to our Ryver.

Look forward to the presentation. With it we all can become the IOTA sales persons. After all, we all bought the software, right? let's re-sell the software to other companies.

Im following the steps to claim my Iota, and I generated an address.

It says to put it in the "form below", but the only one I see is the one for Nxters??

Is that the one I use? Is there a separate one? Is my browser screwed up and not showing it? IDK?

I think, NXT'ers must NOT use this "form below". They must Send unencryoted message to one Nxt-Account (NXT-Q4N3-V2QJ-S3GT-FW4Z9).

User who bought Iota with BTC, only they need to use this "form below". If you have made another error, you can always generate a another address by collect.iotatoken.com if you yet not send the confirm transfer with BTC. I do not know more, more information can give you devs.
