IOTA

[olloman]

Given the history, it means 5 strong piece of news are waiting, deserving a blog post by itself. Many other coins can't even afford one semi-news.
Just saying...

5 each, so 10 in total, even better than 5

price keeps stable compared to the TOP10/20 altcoins.
XEL should catch up soon.

What the hell is XEL and why are you shilling it in thread of best project in crypto space?

It's a legit project, similar to Golem.

Yeah, but completely unrelated to Iota, hence his question about shilling.

OK

A few things I don't get / want to confirm about IOTA

[1] 2,779,530,283,277,760 the cap of IOTA's = 3E+15
[2] Current rate of say 50 / 1E+6 mBits for one iota gives

3E+15 * 50/1E+6 = 1.5E+11 BTC market cap, there are only 2E+7 BTC to be made. So what am i calculating wrong here I was going fo rthe order book in slack.

this does not look right....so am I missing an emmision rate or something as the market cam is $250M

[3] I nxt purchased 1E+9 IOTA, (giving 3M worth of nxt market cap at ico launch

[4] Is the tech in iota that much different to pivix or byteball?

[5] By haveing so many [2,779,530,283,277,760] iota is this a way of getting it big quick on coin market cap because almost any value will give it a huge market cap that will self reinforce...sort of like an advertising strategy

[6] How do you withdraw iota purchased in slack, on one hand someone in there said you could not because of some wallet issue, but i s in this thread people are operating wallets

[7] How does the guy running slack channel have that many iota, just by setting up this quasi exchange?

Yes the market cap is very high.

See http://iotaprice.com/

Now believers in IOTA think the marketcap is tiny and has a lot of room to grow.

I think a little different, even if I want more IOTA my plan is to invest elsewhere and use those funds to accumulate IOTA.

Investing into $250mm gives me a tiny slice of that pie.

Invest into something else that goes up 10x before IOTA goes up 10x, and I have more IOTA.

Of course it's a risk.

Also personally I think that Byteball is not a competitor for IOTA as Byteball isn't really aiming at IoT.

IOTA devs need to look at Raiden on Ethereum as the competition they need to defeat, because that is a beast.

Good luck!

During these special times, with newcomers every second, the only way to asses IOTA potential is to find the place and the rank it should have in the cryptosphere.
Iota is not even in the TOP 15, behind bytecoin, or siacoin and Golem or dogecoin.
The current marketcap is competing with dogecoin's one...It is ridiculously low.

The consensus here and also for people discovering Iota and investing now is it should be in the TOP 5, and rather approaching bitcoin marketcap. It is just a patience game now. I don't want to list fundamentals but they are speaking for themselves.

[ElitistCA]

if current trend of optimism will live whole year, IOTA is destined to go over 2 billions till the end of this year. TOP 5 is definetly reasonable taking in account fundamentals.

First of all, we do not perceive any project to be a competitor, we created IOTA to enable IoT, not to compete with other DLT projects, secondly Raiden / payment channels in general is an ad hoc proposal, it's a patch to a flawed system, a patch which itself has a lot of limitations and problems.

So when will the IOTA ydx be able to sort out its withdrawal problem?

Wow, IBM, Citibank, big names!

I would just be happy to hear that they are courting Poloniex!

JK!!

Any news?

lol, you guys, speculation like this isn't helping, wait until news is confirmed, no need to pump Iota.

Hey,

any reason this coin has not been added to a trading portal yet?
