Hi there!Could someone tell me how many btc+Jinn were collected on today?
Cheers

800 btc and 40,6k jinn

sorry, but it wasn't there 940k jinn instead of 40,6k ? or 900k were before?
Cheers

1M Jinn were created by Triangle.
Only 100k of them were sold to the public.
Of these 100k, 40,6k were given back by investors to Triangle in exchange for iota.

Now this is Ad-Hominem!

I have not held XMR for over a year now. I still feel it's the best alt atm. I do watch promising new tech which I am hoping this will actually be. I guess I should remove the XMR address so idiots don't auto think I'm affiliated.

Please, remove zanzibar's quote from your post or I'll have to delete the latter, because thread moderators don't have EDIT option.

Done.

Thank You friend, for explication

I find it hard to stop refactoring the code trying to simplify it as much as possible, but taking into account that the sale is almost over I'm going to do the last simplification - I'll remove web interface support and will rewrite the interface in such a manner that it uses only API...

While this makes perfect sense and it was always said that iota should be used by machines and not humans, some users might not be pleased without an ui.

We will create the UI.

Ah good then, my bad, I thought no web interface meant no gui, nevermind

Guys, we need more public nodes, so far only 5 entities have declared their willingness to run them...

I'll host 2 nodes. PM me.

I found this project today and i must say it is really promising project, bring fresh air in cryptocoin world, Dev i have a pair of questions about it

How works the reward system with it, it have pos or is pure pow?

Which will be the next target in roadmap?

thanks and keeps the god work

PoW.
Launch.

Although I agree with most of your post, the bolded is patently false. Any crypto without suite 2 or equivalent will not be safe in the foreseeable future.

I didn't say Bitcoin will be safe without upgrading. I'm just saying it's not sensible to imagine that Bitcoin will not be upgraded well ahead of time, in order to deal with quantum. The topic of quantum keeps coming up repeatedly in the Bitcoin community, and everyone is well aware of its status and progress and potential threat. It will be addressed, if & when needed, according to the market's demand. I have faith in making that assumption.

In the whitepaper mthcl showed that PoW blockchains are inherently vulnerable to QCs because they do hashing at quadratic speed. So you think that miners will agree to throw away their ASICs? I predict a lot of drama, much more than all dramas that have happened before...

I'm having an impossible time understanding how the IOTA project is viable. It aims to service the IoT niche. However, Bitcoin already is tackling this niche in a variety of ways. Let's remember that BTC has first mover advantage & network effect (should not be underestimated), as well as hundreds of millions of $ in funding distributed among projects aiming to directly/indirectly make BTC & IoT a reality.

Skepticism is always good. I have no problem understanding why you are skeptical or why you reason as you do, but I'll answer each point to explain our motivation:

Hi, I just wanted to thank you for answering my questions to the best of your ability. I did not get a chance to thank you, previously.

I still remain hugely skeptical, mainly because I think Lightning is being hugely underestimated. The Bitcoin community is pouring enormous resources into solving micro-/nano- transactions via Lightning & related technologies (Lightning is only 1 implementation; there will be multiple, competing, interoperable implementations with varying degrees of trust-minimization, and various ETAs). The peer review done so far has uncovered no major problems, and the timeline for LN is decent (I originally said 3 months for testnet; the Lightning team has just released an updated ETA of ~6 months for alpha/beta quality on mainnet!).

I also don't understand what you mean by fees not being low enough on LN. The LN's express initial purpose is to allow transactions of a few pennies (USD), aka by current exchange rate 0.0001 BTC. And, in fact, it's being designed to allow sending transactions as low as 1 satoshi (I have confirmed this with LN devs previously). This is impossible, unless the fee was simultaneously lower than 1 satoshi. In fact, the fee can be as low as 0.001 satoshis. They are actually subdividing satoshis by 1,000 in LN's design, since fees will be within that order of magnitude.

So, I'm curious what you have to say about that?

Regardless, good luck with IOTA.

Launch and then activism. Having the best technology means nothing without the world knowing that it's there.

After thinking about how the test should be conducted an idea came to my mind. What if the testnet becomes more popular than the mainnet? And those who didn't purchase the iotas will run their own competing version. Due to the first mover advantage they will increase their odds of world-wide adoption. Any suggestions how to solve this issue?

[l8orre]

switch off and restart the testnet in regular intervals?

[Xeelee]

Will this testnet work exactly like the IOTA original? If so would it make sense to just give the IOTA buyers access to the testnet with the amount they have purchased? So there would not be any issue if the testnet would be more succesfull as the core.

Have you not run a private testnet on a LAN?

To your point are you really concerned by some dev(s) new to this paradigm stealing your thunder? I find this most unlikely. I partially based my investment on  this being a unique product/protocol run by a team with a unique set of skills not easily replicable.  I trust I was not mistaken.
