I did not read the article but the fact it does not even mention iota (even to say it is not based on blockchain but on DAG technology) indicates it is probably very poorly researched and/or very biased
- charleslmunger 9y agoIota isn't actually a crypto currency - there's a server run by the iota team that "coordinates" all transactions. See previous discussion here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16457120 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16457120
- ddrdrck_ 9y agoThe plan is to shut down the coordinator when network will be big enough. Even with the coordinator running, to say that Iota is not a crypto currency is quite wrong (also it is much more than a currency). In any case, to not mention Iota in an article about "IoT and blockchains" is just plain dumb considering this is the certainly the major project in this field (even if it only to mention that Iota is not running a blockchain but a DAG, and that it is not currently fully decentralized)
