IOTA

[BitcoinArsenal]

Have you heard that?

BitDice announced on a article on the official blog to employ IOTA technology on its next-generation platform. BitDice is pursuing to develop the best practical way of accommodating on-chain gaming content using unique capabilities of IOTA technology.

BitDice’s adoption of IOTA due to the superior nature of the technology should help the casino to overcome issues related to high execution cost as well as slow speed of the games that require dynamic betting.

IOTA is excited to be a partner of the Smart Energy Hackathon, further building on our extensive work in this area http://www.smartenergyhackathon.com

Is there anyway for a US resident to purchase IOTA? I have been trying to find a way for a while

https://www.bitfinex.com/

If you cant get usd into bitfinex from the USA than purchase bitcoin using usd at w/e exchange you prefer and transfer the bitcoin over to bitfinex.

US guys can use vpn and buy iota with bitcoin in bitfinex

I updated the Android wallet but after attaching several addresses (30+), still no sign of my balance. Perhaps it takes some time before the old balance shows up again?

did you do the transition with the official GUI 2.4.0 after the snapshot?

you have to make sure to do the transition. and it sometimes needs 30 tries until it goes through

Which fiat does bitfinex pay out in, just USD?

To do the transition, follow this guide step by step - https://matthewwinstonjohnson.gitbooks.io/iota-guide-and-faq/getting-started/guide-transition.html

This is the Android Wallet, not the PC wallet. Or do you mean that I have to process my Andoid seed with the migration service of the new PC wallet as well?

Yes, you have to do the transition with the PC wallet if you can't do it with the android wallet.

[BitcoinArsenal]

Yes, you have to do the transition with the PC wallet if you can't do it with the android wallet.

Now that I've got all the information for the transition (I do not want to make any mistakes, because it's a big sum for me), I wonder if there is a time limit until the transition has been done? I could not find any information about this. I mean with time limit, if I do not conduct a transition by day x, then my coins will be lost.

unfortunately yes.
 
I would recommend getting an account with kraken, buy bitcoin or ether there and send it to bitfinex.

Any ideas on price bottom for the current dip ? Im guessing it will be around .60

I plan on buying some more

I believe that it is mandatory and everyone should do it as soon as possible.

Has anybody tested IOTA's tangle? From what I understand it distribuites the processing/registering of its transactions to other other senders. What are the hashrate processing costs?

Anybody who would think Iota has reached all time high already with just Bitfinex, needs to have their head checked. I'm personally hoping it drops more before other exchanges announce it so I can accumulate as much as I can.

2nd part of the 2 part series on IOTA is out here:

exactly what Im thinking.
It is kind of crazy that IOTA is at almost 3 bln market cap being listed on only one exchange .... I predict once IOTA gets on major asian exchanges it'll be at ethereum lvl within a few weeks a month tops

IOTA and its research proposal predecessor DagCoin don’t record any form of objective transaction finality (such as Byteball’s stability points) for the unsynchronized partial orders of transactions in the ledger!

Transactions include some PoW so that tips (leaves) of the DAG branches are extended with probabilistically more cumulative PoW as new descendant transactions are issued, but there is nothing forcing these unsynchronized partial orders to converge on a single-total ordering, i.e. there is no probabilistic finality of transaction confirmation. In fact, (in the absence of IOTA’s “Coordinator” centralized servers) the partial orders will have conflicting orders due to double-spends, and there is no leadership election process nor witnesses set to decide on the ordering of the conflicts.

The (load of misleading technobabble bullshit) theory of their convergence to a single total ordering based on network propagation order (which experts know can never be provably consistent for all nodes without some synchronization algorithm) and/or a model requiring centralized enforcement of the algorithms employed by the payer and payee, which is inherently insecure due to unconstrained divergence. IOTA employs centralized servers named “Coordinator” (apparently not mentioned at least in the early revisions in the whitepaper) to enforce the whitepaper’s Monte Carlo strategy on all participants. IOTA has been challenged numerous times by numerous people (including the guy who challenged the developer @Come-from-Beyond to remove their Coordinator centralized enforcement in order to prove that IOTA will function decentralized, and afaik they have never done so.

That guy was threatened with a lawsuit by the “IOTA Founder” @iotatoken (real name is David Sønstebø) if he would attempt to publish these truths.
