IOTA

[cryptorusin]

Hi guys,
wondering why IOTA is not gaining any USD value, even if we have a solid development, great news and multiple confrimed partnerships? This is because all alts are depending on BTC - nothing new right? So will we break from this dependency in the future?
YES WE WILL.
WHEN?
As soon as there is a real product (currently there is no single coin having a real product and such a thing like a payment is not a real product) As far as IOTA is concerned we shd have a WORKING PRODUCT with Volkswagen during 2019 !!!

So I would suggest, you don't panic and load up as many IOTAS as you can in the meantime.

Very supportive words from a guy that has been involved in the early steps of Internet.

@IOTerry on Twitter

"The entire crypto space is going through some tough times right now but this is to be expected. Those of us supporting IOTA are going to take some arrows in the back but only time will prove us right or wrong.

Every new paradigm attracts the naysayers and the path to success is rarely a straight line. How many people tell you they should have bought Amazon when the Internet was starting up? Today it trades at $1,660 but check out how it fared for a few years following June 28, 1999.

From a high of $113 in early Dec 1999 it fell as low as $5.67 in September 2001 before the long climb back to dizzying highs. Does that look familiar? How many saw the bear market as a twice in a lifetime opportunity in 2000/2001?

IOTA is the second of those twice in a lifetime chances. Are you going to miss this one too?"

Fascinating concept. I examine the whitepaper,,,,,,,
so, you have saved up to date on quantum laptop improvement in the last years, you will see that this is certainly some thing that wants to be prepared for proper away,
#incredibly impressed......

I examine the whitepaper, and I should say I am incredibly impressed..you have saved up to date on quantum laptop improvement in the closing years, you will see that this is certainly something that wishes to be organized for right away, specifically for Internet-of-Things reliant science that will automate truly

Volkswagen, Audi Employees Being Coached On IOTA (MIOTA)
IOTA (MIOTA)–At this point in the bear cycle, stories of adoption are being being met by investors with muffled grunts and outright frustration. Two years ago, cryptocurrency was starved for news of established companies developing partnerships with the coins, or at the very least drawing interest. Despite the downward spiral of pricing for currencies across the market, 2018 has been a year filled with high-profile partnerships and acceptance by companies that will drive real world use.

Volkswagen Preparing Employees For IOTA
Among the list of companies to initiate pilot programs with cryptocurrency, IOTA’s partnership with German-based automaker Volkswagen has been one of the largest. While the actual implications of a partnership with a company whose assets total in excess of 480 billion USD has flown under the radar, it comes in part due to the publicity image of VW in the aftermath of 2015’s emissions scandal. The public outside of crypto may see Volkswagen’s partnership with a cryptocurrency that has built ties with the United Nations as an attempt to grab at straws: the language surrounding the most recent VW-IOTA press release slanted in heavy favor of “accountability” and “security.”

However, many within crypto see the natural progression of IOTA, a currency being built to unite the world of IoT devices, and the looming conundrum of fully-automated vehicles. The integration of a cryptocurrency into automobiles not only eases the transition into a driver-less car economy, but plays to the strength of ride sharing and decentralized transportation already made popular by Uber and Lyft.

IOTA’s position with Volkswagen looks good on paper and carries enough influence to constitute a presence at press events, but many investors are still asking the question, “so what?”. Has IOTA managed to capture genuine attention within the automobile world, and are they being taken seriously by their partners at the Volkswagen group, whose holding includes Audi, Porsche and (the ever popular) Lamborghini?

Have there been any large scale tests on the network when the coordinator has been turned off, or has this been tried on test networks or anything? I am curious to know how what degree of users and TXs turning off the coordinator will require? Is there any information about this?

How is IOTA's Tangle different than classical blockchains? What are the main differences and how do they translate to real world usage?

[Scooby903]

How could IOTA have an intrinsic value in the future when you can exchange Fiat in milliseconds and vice-versa through services?

[chemal]

Can IOTA process transactions faster than Bitcoin after Bitcoin Lightning Network has implemented?

[mickycob1]

[BitcoinArsenal]

Is there a entire snapshot of the tangle to download?
