You all expect exchanges huh? What if its too much of a hassle to add iota on kraken or polo? Its brand new tech. Adoption is slow. I hope kraken will risk it tho.

Then life will become to boring thing, you know. Only 100% bitcoin forks is not a hassle to add. 5 min and it's done.

interesting interview

"Personally, I still see Bitcoin as an 8-year-old Proof of Concept which should have been stopped some time ago"

Bitcoin - after 8 years of development has 6000 active nodes and roughly 10 mln wallets.

For comparason here is numbers of Facebook active users by years:

1 million — End of 2004.
5.5 million — End of 2005.
12 million — End of 2006.
20 million — April 2007.
50 million — October 2007.
100 million — August 2008.
150 million — January 2009.
175 million — February 2009.
200 million — April 2009.
250 million — July 2009.
300 million — September 2009.
350 million — End of 2009.
400 million — February 2010.
500 million — July 2010.
608 million — End of 2010.
750 million — July 2011.
800 million — September 2011.
845 million — End of 2011.
901 million — March 2012.
955 million — June 2012.
1.01 billion — September 2012.
1.06 billion — December 2012.
1.11 billion — March 2013

I guess in 2020 Bitcoin will have 8000 active nodes and 15 mln wallets.

i have just read about 50 pages..nice to see all these good news!

a special congrats to my friend cfb!

We are moving forward 

Wallet:
Here you can find the officiall GUI wallet release that includes the light-wallet! The light-wallet ist still in testing phase so please report the bugs that you found!
https://github.com/iotaledger/wallet/releases/tag/v2.1.0

Simply click on „Switch to light-mode“ under „Tools“:


The guys from iotasupport are so nice and also provide a node for the light-wallet users. http://service.iotasupport.com:14265
Alternatively you can contact me directly on slack and I will send you a node https://iotatangle.slack.com/messages/@rage1337/


Pros:
- no manual "Neighbor" sharing (IP trading)
- no need to sync anymore because the full-node is already sync
- claiming with the light-wallet is possible!

Start, login and done. If you got OpenCL the wallet will use the GPU instead of CPU for new addresses/transactions. I installed CUDA for Nvidia but not 100% sure if it is needed, maybe the standalone driver for nvidia also includes it.


Trade-Bot:
Here are the stats from the automatic trade bot in slack that is moderated by yassin (avg. price 12,56BTC/ti):
1'530 Gi and 6'449'787 microBTC on the balances
119 orders
42 trades
3'411 Gi traded for 42'861'020 microBTC



News:
Nice to see that the foundation members are open to the community!  (thanks to limo)

Proof of Concept, help limo with your ideas https://iotatangle.slack.com/messages/@limo/

Instead I created a PoC page on my blog, to provide developers with a few ideas.
But this isn't something I can do alone because I'm just one person and my creativity is limited. 
So please: Take 20 minutes of your time and try to think about a great use-case which is solely feasible with IOTA and write me a message.
I will add the idea with or withour your name and we provide developers with a few ideas. This is pretty damn easy and not unimportant, so start thinking and help IOTA out, even if you're just a small investor.
Thanks!

That's great news for IOTA community!!!


Does this claiming process still valid for v2.1.0 wallet?

http://iotasupport.com/claimingyouriota.shtml

[olloman]

is it safe now to use the light wallet for claiming and regular use, or is it still not a final release and intended just for testing?

[johhnyUA]

Is it true, that IOTA have another technical system different from Blockchain (like in Bitcoin and other altcoins) ?
In byteball section someone said that Byteball seems like IOTA but better, without IOTA cons. In this regard, I would like to read some technical documentation of IOTA technology. Could you share it to me?

I wish you said it to me. In that case, i must clarify that i want to understand true it or false by reading technical literature. I would be very glad if someone could help me with my request

Sorry but your request is not specific enough. Maybe you'll find something useful here www.iotasupport.com or here www.iotatoken.com or here https://iota.readme.io

Or do you have a specific question?

At the moment i know 2 people that successfully claimed with the light-wallet (1 on linux and 1 on windows). I never heard of a problem with claiming 

Its really easy:
Go to "Tools" and click "Claim Process"


Then simply enter your old seed and a new seed. Wait until PoW is finished. Login with your new seed


Take care of your seeds! Make sure you dont lose them in any way (create backups, print them or do whatever is needed that they dont get lost)

Claiming worked like a charm on my mac.

Thank you guys! Keep up the good work!
