Great piece on why Julie Maupin is a pivotal figure for IOTA: https://oracletimes.com/why-julie-maupin-is-important-for-iota-miota-and-the-broader-blockchain-scene/

TLDR Excerpt:

• In addition to her appointment at Max Planck, she holds external research appointments with the Centre for International Governance Innovation and the University College London Centre for Blockchain Technologies.
• She has recently been advising IOTA on the incorporation and governance set-up of the foundation and is actively helping to develop projects to be carried out by the social venture fund.
• Julie Maupin is not just another corporate link with industrial players like Volkswagen and BOSCH. Of course, both companies are sitting on the top of the hill when it comes to technological advancement and innovations around the machine economy and the internet of things (IoT), which is IOTA’s key element, but Dr. Maupin will help IOTA Foundation to establish global governmental level relations that no other blockchain-based project could even talk about.

Does anyone know how many people in total are on board with IOTA?

I think IOTA is not the next big thing. IOTA is worse than some coins that EOS DASH NEM and OmiseGo in cryptomarket. I choose stay away from IOTA

Yes please stay away if you don't have proper argumentation for your dumb statements.

Here's the early Foundation list (42 listed): http://untangled.world/iota-founders/

I think 12-18 have been announced since then, many I've listed in this thread. I think there's bit more, but many are working as freelancers or on their own projects or haven't been formally made Foundation members.

Nice update this is good thing to know about that foundation or the members. They have many members on board and yet it doesn't much help. If that all members would work Iota will have more good progress. This is only my opinion though i don't know if all those members are working everyday.

Im also updated with it and its nice to see IOTA is working behind the scenes. The price doesn't needs to be hype as it has been in a cycle of downtrend and making a price floor support.

I have been tracking IOTA for some time now, but I never actually invested in it. I was held back by the poor wallet, issue of users not getting their IOTA's and general implementation.... However, now there is that Q announcement. I don't know if that will solve problems, but I am still very interested.
What do you think would be the right time for investment?

Q will likely have little to do with wallets. Trinity and a few more wallets are being released that will address usability--Trinity should be in BETA testing in a few weeks, don't know the time frame for the other wallets.

I have invested a couple of times in IOTA, good to see that it’s in the top 10 crypto coins at the moment. By the way your post really helped me to have a better understanding of what really IOTA is, everything that is written makes it so much simpler. I invested because of this post, lol. Keep it up my mans.

I've heard that they have certain management problems. Is that so? I think this is a promising project, but still investments IOTA very risky.

That's a very accurate guess. I think IOTA will grow rapidly over the next three months. Because just six hours ago, I witnessed the terrible rise of IOTA. Even though the market is down, but IOTA still go up and ignore what is around. Maybe this is a very potential altcoin in 2018.

• Europe’s largest innovation platform starts its fourth round with 31 young tech companies from 4 continents and 13 countries
• STARTUP AUTOBAHN facilitates joint projects between startups and corporations and offers access to VC’s, mentors, hardware lab, expertise, tools and office space
• Wide range of projects around vehicle tech (CASE), vehicle services (fintech / insurtech), enterprise processes (HR / retail), energy, future of production and supply chain

A coin without commission and almost instantaneous transactions, just a coin of the future. The only pity is that while it is in the active development stage and there is no way to test it for any sort of vulnerability. The bottom of the coin has already been reached and now it has been actively growing, so we expect only the best from it.

IOTA has a superior tech. Some people bet their money on good tech and utility but that's not always the best thing to do of course.
