IOTA is the next big thing

[tyKiwanuka]

I've read recently that Sweden government is going to use IOTA technology for creating national crypto.

That is no done deal though, that news was wrong. IOTA is still in the race, but there are other projects still in consideration from the swedish government as well. The final decision won't be made until 2019 afaik. But IOTA has a good chance to be chosen imo, because they are in talks with a lot of governments and IOTA is kind of a scandinavian project as well

Looks like the rumors of a partnership between IOTA and Kontrol Energy are likely true as Reid from the IOTA Foundation was added to their board:  https://crypto.samnews.net/iota-miota-teams-up-with-canadas-kontrol-energy-corp-after-samuel-reid-gets-on-board/

MOBI — the Mobility Open Blockchain Initiative — launches today with over 30 founding members that also include Bosch, Blockchain at Berkeley, Hyperledger, Fetch.ai, IBM and IOTA. The group has a fairly broad goal of making transportation “safer, more affordable, and more widely accessible using blockchain technology.

Conviently, coindesk left IOTA off the list in their coverage.

The panelists include the IMFs Deputy Managing Director, and it looks like Julie is representing the IOTA Foundation in this session.

I bought IOTA when price was 4.5$, but I will never sell this coin, it seems that only this coin has bright future and could be useful.

Q

From David on Discord:

Qubic, with origins stretching all the way back to CFB's early musings of it on BTT in 2012 and numerous people's intensive R&D in Jinn Labs since 2014, the elusive Q has officially began its unveiling and is hereby verified. Qubic is a project we have been working on for quite a while internally in the IOTA Foundation and is one of our main priorities for 2018 and 2019. Details will remain scarce until the date revealed on the website, when a lot more material, specifications and further information surrounding the uniQueness of Qubic will be made available. For now, in brief: Qubic enables Smart Contracts, Oracles, Outsourced Computing and lots more. Qubic, using IOTA as a backbone, will be the foundation of plenty more projects that we have in motion already, but more importantly, it will be a platform for the greater community and ecosystem to create things we can't even imagine yet. Finally, while we share your enthusiasm and excitement about this pivotal project, please, do not pester Eric, Paul, CFB, Sam or any of the others in IF that you have identified as working on this project, they will not reveal any further details until the date displayed on the website. When Q? What Q? Now you have a better idea.

Awesome! I'm really excited about it.

Iota makes it very easy to restore itself, only a dollar a week ago. Everyone says that iota is unnecessary, but I think it's always important investments.

Oracles (money for data)
Smart contracts
Exchanges of currencies
Outsourced computation

... that's simply awesome. looking forward to June.

Positive news about IOTA keeps coming. I believe that this year will be good for IOTA. The project is already strong. The market is going well. I think it's worth investing.Of course I also invested. I am looking forward to my winnings in 2019

Wow, the leaked rumours about the infamous Q project are quite amazing, I wonder if over this next month before the details are released in full we see a last ditch attempt by Matthew Green and friends to troll IOTA with everything they've got before it finally becomes obvious to everyone not following the cryptosphere 24/7 that IOTA is something BIG, not just another crypto project with potential.

I expect May to bring out every allegation and FUD possible by those who stand to lose, especially those who staked their reputations on IOTA being 'broken' - should be better than MMA cage fighting.

Developer creates P2P video streaming using just IOTA network (no internet). AFAIK this translates into other P2P use cases such as chat, settlement layer, etc....

[Flode]

WOW, Q is looking amazing. This will be a good year for IOTA

IOTA is in my top list, moreover Sweden is going to apply IOTA technology for creation of own crypto, so this positive news can lead to future growth. The only thing I don't like is 81 character secret phrase. just remember, 1 year ago something like 4 millions were stollen because people used online generators for secret phrase.
