IOTA OR XRB?

[revengefairy]

both are over hype
especially xrb
zero fee lol
that is hilarious

[MattCrypto43]

Its very tuff to say but i think XRB. Also both coin have lot of potential

But you can try ICX right now .....

[Itsmylife]

Right now, I think XLM is the best choice when compared with IOTA about price, XLM's price is increasing and it has a strong community, good dev team.

I've got some of both but I still want to know you're thoughts.

Do you think these are a good investment atm? And which of the two are you more keen on?

I feel like Raiblocks might explode sometime soon. I'm sort of getting the same impression that I got with Ethereum late last year, but I still made the mistake of selling my ETH and not trusting my gut. Of course, even though I want to trust my gut, my gut isn't magical and I don't have absolute confidence.

I will choose also XRB the price is low right now. It can possible take over in to top 10 market cap once they hit a better exchange like bittrex, poloneix and binance and the price of XRB will 100 usd + at that time.

Both are recovering from overheated hype buying, think you'll be able to get them cheaper in a few weeks as people shift back into the big 10

I am afraid I am aware of IOTA only. Could you explain the difference between these altcoins?

[hroschi]

What is this XRB coin about?

[Latrix]

XRB for sure. wouldn't wanna write them off so soon.

They actually don't have anything in common other than offering 0 fee transactions

What is this XRB coin about?

RaiBlocks is basically how Bitcoin should have been from the beginning. It offers:
- Instant transaction
- Transaction cost ZERO fees
- There's no inflation (133,248,289 XRB and there wont be more)
- It has almost unlimited scalability, it can easily handle 10k transaction/seconds: https://i.imgur.com/oRpO8lc.gif

It is also designed in a very simple way, all components are just perfectly chosen from what we learnt from bitcoin, you should read the wipe paper and check the github (it is fully open source in clean c++ also!), but here's some of the key parts:
- There's one Blockchain per account so all accounts can do transactions asynchronously. It is how it breaks the scalability limit that all other coins have.
- A block is only one transaction and it is fully created by the owner of the account/Blockchain, so there's no need of a 3rd party like a miner to build the blocks and you dont have to worry that your transaction get lest in the "Mempool" ... there's no Mempool. You build your block, add it to your Blockchain, broadcast it and done!
- The consensus mechanism is a vote involving all representatives on conflicting blocks. So you don't need to wait for multiple blocks to have a confirmation.. one vote and it is confirmed.
- Anyone can be a representative, you just need to run the full nodes and it requires no "proof of work", so it is not CPU intensives and you get rewarded by getting "recognition" from those that delegate their XRB voting power to you. It is how there's no fee or inflation.

Will it get enough visibility to replace Bitcoin? I dont know... but I know that if we want crypto-currencies to succeed, we need what RaiBlocks is.

Honestly I'd have to go with Raiblocks on this one just because of the Lattice feature that allows each user to have their own blockchain of sorts. Iota's Tangle seems to rely on each user's transaction movement thus creating congestion that can slow down their network. So based on what I've read about the tech behind each coin, I almost got caught up on the Tangle but after looking at teh Lattice of Railblocks I don't see how they can be compared.

Price? Sure Iota comes in lower so for that alone I'd probably pick some up ( tried to but struggled with the creation of the seed and also I wasn't connecting so I had to pass and move onto ADA aka Cardano. Still if Raiblocks was in my range for a coin I'd probably jump on that now.

[xnightly]

I believe it would be smart to hold both, since they are DAG but have different priority use cases. IOTA for enterprise data and XRB as c2c currency.

Xlm price bump like crazy and i dont trust Xlm for long term invest.

[heyspongebob]

XRB for the short run, IOTA for the long run

[SexySexyYeah]

I suggest both of them, those 2 coins are good for Long term.

iota

[vendy86]

if we see from hype i think IOTA better than XRB.
but if we see from technology i more prefer XRB.
so many new feature that we cant find at other coin.
the most i like is zero fee transaction..

[FoxyCrypsy]

XRB more potential, IOTA, in my opinion, has come to a standstill ..

[buboyskie]

Yes I think is more popular as of now. They really good because of fast transaction and 0 fees. I have Iota but right now I really prefer XRB I hope it is not too late to buy.

[cougarcxt]

people are hodling IOTA, mainly because if you use an IOTA wallet it's a pain to get your coins in or out of it. the technology does not seem to be ready or able to cope and their support forum is a joke. multiple threads by people with the same repeating issues and next to no developer support. im still waiting over 24 hours for pending transaction to be received.

[catapult]

Raiblocks(XRB) showed a big rising in the january, but I am not sure about that it is better than IOTA. In my opinion, IOTA have a really good potential for the future.
