RaiBlocks is looking pretty good with its zero fees and sub-minute transaction times

  Raiblocks and IOTA are the two to watch, yes.

    There are concerns about IOTA: MIT Media Lab's concerns about the cryptocurrency IOTA https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15980675 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15980675

    IOTA is not made to be a currency to shop online or buy coffee, it's an IoT currency. Stop trying to shill what you've bought. It's also deeply flawed, centralized and its wallet is not user friendly.
    • sanefive 9y ago
      Believe it or not, I don't have IOTA nor XRB in my portfolio.

  I thought that at first blush, but they haven't figured out how to incentivize nodes or prevent spam. Pretty big issues IMO
  • StavrosK 9y ago
    Yes, and as much as I like the currency, the perpetual "they'll do it out of the goodness of their hearts" answer to "who will run a node with no incentive" isn't very convincing.

      Isn't that exactly the same with every cryptocurrency? Why would you run a bitcoin node?
      • StavrosK 9y ago
        No, it's not. A RaiBlocks node is equivalen to a Bitcoin miner. You'd run it because it makes money.

    you can add fees to raiblocks, isn't it just a matter of forking it?
