https://www.elaad.nl/news/vedecom-and-elaadnl-collaborate-on-connection-e-mobility-and-power-systems/IOTA's partner Elaad is partnering with France's Vedecom--hopefully this will be to create charging stations across France and the Netherlands with IOTA as the payment system (though obviously, this is only speculation). State Secretary for Infrastructure and Water Management, Van Veldhoven: “Charging your electric vehicle should be as easy as charging your phone. This agreement between a French and a Dutch company is therefore a great step towards a European platform of interoperability. Together, France and the Netherlands can find ways to make charging and electric driving as easy as possible. That knowledge is essential for making transportation cleaner, fighting climate change and fulfil the Paris agreements.

they both scale
They both sacrifice a little bit of decentralization for scalability
Which one to choose and why?
Of course eos, because its creator is Daniel Larimer is a software programmer. Larimer created the cryptocurrency platform BitShares, was co-founder of the blockchain social platform Steemit (2016). You do realize one of IOTA's founders is BCNxt, creator of NXT/POS? I think comparing EOS and IOTA is dumb, as they are completely different markets (at least until IOTA implements smart contracts), but if you are going by credentials, at least research both teams. |

In a sistem wich has no reward for the people who stake their IOTA, like the Tangle is supposed to be, how can they run a DECENTRALIZED ORACLE SERVICE? And if they will be decentralized, WHAT WILL PREVENT A MALICIOUS NODE TO ACT AGAINST THE NETWORK? We don't even know if the smart contracts will be with oracles and/or on the IOTA network (both have been researched by the IF), so I'd wait to ask when that is known--likely, a month as was stated in https://qubic.iota.org/Basically do you have to pay to use the smart contract on IOTA Unknown. There may be instances where you have to pay and you don't have to pay. Or it may be all pay or not. What I'm wondering is, "Are cheaper than Ethereum and other smart contract platforms?" If I had to wager, I'd bet at least some contracts require payment as you are asking for the use of computer resources and someone has to pay the cost. I'd also bet they are cheaper due to IOTA's network efficiency. Also I suppose the sistem will be scalable compared to Ethereum smart contracts what do you think ? Crypto Kitties should be fine on the tangle. |

IOTA is in my top list, moreover Sweden is going to apply IOTA technology for creation of own crypto, so this positive news can lead to future growth. The only thing I don't like is 81 character secret phrase. just remember, 1 year ago something like 4 millions were stollen because people used online generators for secret phrase.
E-krona has yet to be decided, there are a few finalist, so IOTA may or may not be the winner. If you are using an unknown seed generator to create a seed, that's your own fault. It's no different than asking a stranger on the street to assign you a vault combo. Luckily, Trinity will generate seeds, so even noobs won't suffer at their own bad decisions. The reason the IF didn't put a seed generator in the original wallet was simple, they didn't want to be culpable if the seed generator could be exploited and they didn't want to spend the time auditing it. They only created a wallet after the community demanded it and they were very clear that it would be bare bones and users would have to practice due diligence. I'm sorry people lost money, but the IF's goal was never to get bogged down in wallets or other P2P issues, the goal of the IF has always been to establish IOTA as an IOT standard--it's that focus that led to it being one of the finalist of E-krona and partnerships with Fujitsu, Bosch and VW, so it wasn't like they were wrong. And while I wish they hadn't released a wallet (basically, stuck with the original plan) or had only issued a CLI, a wallet that's unusable by noobs, (like Monero's early official wallets) it's a case of hind sight being 20/20 and those taking advantage of the situation by piling on weren't saying anything until it was revealed that people were using phishing sites, so their clairvoyance was no better than the IOTA foundation, or if they knew, they didn't care enough to say a damn word--either way, I know politicizing other's misfortunes when I see it. |

https://qubic.iota.org/Q From David on Discord: Qubic, with origins stretching all the way back to CFB's early musings of it on BTT in 2012 and numerous people's intensive R&D in Jinn Labs since 2014, the elusive Q has officially began its unveiling and is hereby verified. Qubic is a project we have been working on for quite a while internally in the IOTA Foundation and is one of our main priorities for 2018 and 2019. Details will remain scarce until the date revealed on the website, when a lot more material, specifications and further information surrounding the uniQueness of Qubic will be made available. For now, in brief: Qubic enables Smart Contracts, Oracles, Outsourced Computing and lots more. Qubic, using IOTA as a backbone, will be the foundation of plenty more projects that we have in motion already, but more importantly, it will be a platform for the greater community and ecosystem to create things we can't even imagine yet. Finally, while we share your enthusiasm and excitement about this pivotal project, please, do not pester Eric, Paul, CFB, Sam or any of the others in IF that you have identified as working on this project, they will not reveal any further details until the date displayed on the website. When Q? What Q? Now you have a better idea.

Bumping for anyone who missed earlier. |

Every other coin is soared with fork news but Monero did not. I liked MoneroV but it needed a confirmation from a big exchange
Why does it even exist? I get why eth classic and bcash exist, there was clash of opinions and enough demand for a fork, but this just seems like a cash grab leeching off Monero's good name. |

 The panelists include the IMFs Deputy Managing Director, and it looks like Julie is representing the IOTA Foundation in this session. |

https://techcrunch.com/2018/05/02/the-mobility-open-blockchain-initiative-bmw-gm-ford-renault/MOBI — the Mobility Open Blockchain Initiative — launches today with over 30 founding members that also include Bosch, Blockchain at Berkeley, Hyperledger, Fetch.ai, IBM and IOTA. The group has a fairly broad goal of making transportation “safer, more affordable, and more widely accessible using blockchain technology.Conviently, coindesk left IOTA off the list in their coverage.
