they have no clue
'a payment gateway, such as Bitcoin, Litecoin or any other cryptocurrency recognized by the department, using electronic peer-to-peer systems'

...
a payment gateway lol.
crypto's are not a payment gateway
crypto's are a currency.. a gateway is a business/exchange that handles and converts the currency to a countries legal tender

the wording alone of the quote makes me feel the bill wont hold much weight, as it doesnt make sense in reality.

Somehow I managed to download the current version and have it running in a few minutes--so either he's being disingenuous or he doesn't know what he's doing. Read Paul's response below the article to understand why, even if you are building from binaries (and for whatever reason decide to run a full node the first time you set-up a wallet...weird), his attempt looks like an attempt to fail. Personally, I think it was a hatchet job, but it may be incompetence--depends if you want to argue for his capabilities or his integrity. The very fact that he'd be willing to sully his rep on IOTA is telling--Streisand or Dunning Kruger[?], there is an effect. There's also the little detail that he could have waited for the new wallets, if he was intent on getting the most user friendly experience--it's well known that Trinity is being released soon and it will address usability concerns. My guess is he wanted to troll IOTA before that happened, which isn't surprising given the recent uptick to FUD as Trinity gets closer to release.

TBTB have an interest in attacking IOTA before usability concerns are diminished due to having a fool-proof wallet. I saw the same FUD when Monero's main criticism was, "NO GUI!?!" Anyone who sat through Monero or Ethereum's FUD shows will see the similarities. It's weird that a decentralized system can have such uniform responses to threats, but sooner or later those threats, given specialization and sheer numbers, will drain any mass that is only maintained by network effects. If lightening network happened two years ago, BTC might have stopped the bleeding, or at the very least they should have concentrated on fungibility and traits that made it an actual digital cash--you know, live up to soapbox. The new mantra of, "Digital Gold" and "Store-of-Wealth," will be seen as a technology in its death throws as more efficient and specialized systems feed on its carcass, but who knows, maybe it gets to 100k and has its dominance cut to <30%. I mean that is the long term trend.

Not that any of this excuses the dumb equivocation that P2P user experience determines IOT suitability--or do we assume that processes can't be automated or that IOT developers won't know the network they are using? If that's the case, all crypto is dead as programmers have become too stupid to actually do their jobs or learn new systems--maybe that's the new argument, that we've hit an event horizon and stopped at BTC's apex and no new systems can be learned or automated. Funny that that line of Legacy Logic hasn't worked for the banking industry.

Quick check for and... Yes, my pool supports Dymaxion. I am using 0-100 cryptoguru because I am small miner with less than 20TB.

Nah you shouldn't be worried because ultimately they will still have to use BTC price point for entry and that can't be drastically reduced because they want it. Sure the price and those funds will be in the news more and that could effect price heavier than the average person can but doesn't change the fact they don't make the rules. The laws of supply and demand do and knowing the demand is way higher than supply should have you feeling okay. I am looking forward to it in fact and think the price rise will coincide with the funds coming along with bitcoin finally.

That guy was using programs he wasn't proficient in (stated in the article), made extra steps for himself and made the very dumb assumption that usability (for him mind you) transalated into IOTA being unworkable for the IOT.

The fact is that small devices wont be running nodes, or even wallets, so the assumption doesn't fit how the IOT actually works. The guy is either incompetent or disingenuous, but not suprising all the IOTA haters are quick to be oblivious to obvious when it helps them attack their fear--that IOTA will be succesful and make most blockchains obsolete. But what's great is that none of this matters, because the IOTA Founders were smart enough to take IOTA's future out of the hands of the crypto cartel with their mindless cadres of pseudo news sources and forum fanatics--do you think Bosch or Fujitsu give a shit that the average moron can't run a node? It's absurd to think corporations are going to listen to self glossed experts when their own developers have shown that IOTA works as intended.

Also, it's odd that he didn't wait for the new wallets if he was intent on getting a wallet working--though he probably still would have opted for needless steps if given the opportunity. Enjoy this P2P minded shitcoin fest while you can, because the new wallets will be user friendly and idiot proof. BTW, anyone who hasn't figured out the difference between P2P and M2M will still understand 100ctps and free.

Thank you pinkflower, more reviews coming soon indeed. Appreciate the support.

Currently we pay 1 BURST per transaction. Is Dymaxion going to change that? Because if not, we supposed to pay 1-2 USD per tx, as you forecasting?

And where exactly did I say that?

All I said that they might have had the hand in the current "fallout" and that they definitely weren't pumping Bitcoin at its December highs. Otherwise, the price would be a lot higher.

Things will improve, I believe. With the cash injection into eth, and a determination of the team behind Ethereum, I believe, the security issues will be sorted. Besides, literally more than a half of the cryptomarket runs on Ethereum - it's not that bad.

Then you are not disagreeing with me

You are disagreeing with your own point. I said that they wouldn't pump Bitcoin beyond December highs so that folks who had bought at those highs or close to them wouldn't be able to profit at the expense of Wall Street. Then you said that I must have been kidding if I hadn't expected these dudes to "enter the market when BTC went to its all time high". Now you start to repeat my own words, basically ditching your own position. Obviously, that won't work out and I won't let you get away with that either. So you wanted to talk about who was kidding? You have the opportunity, go ahead
