The "Tangle Approach" seems to do some awesome things:
- Seems to have similar robustness to bitcoin in terms of double-spend/attack defense.
- Handle high latency and network partitions gracefully
- Scales better and wastes less energy
- Gets rid of miners and makes the work to secure against double-spend just part of issuing transactions (security scales with transaction rate not mining rate!)
- nmca 9y agoIt does indeed. Whenever I see this project, I wonder if it works!
- deeplife 9y agoIt works well everyday for us and we don't wonder, we enjoy it!
- deeplife 9y agoNot similar. It is by far more robust than bitcoin. Imagine a quantum computer mining. IOTA is designed to be quantum proof.
- RichardHeart 9y agoWell, I guess there'll be another ICO then?
- sylvanarevalo 9y agoNope, all the coins have already been created (and I got some!!!). You will however be able to buy them on an exchange soon: https://blog.iota.org/exchange-launch-2d38c654349a https://blog.iota.org/exchange-launch-2d38c654349a

- lewi 9y agoThe ICO was years ago. They've been focusing on their developer community instead of marketing. Their github is fairly extensive with client ports to help devs: https://github.com/iotaledger https://github.com/iotaledger
