Yes. Having said that, the positives about IOTA; They seem to have developed their own hashing function, of the sponge family, called Curl - and are actually using the Westernelitz (oh jesus spelling, more space-efficient Lamport) signature

Be warned about IOTA though, it still is not decentralized, see https://medium.com/@ercwl/iota-is-centralized-6289246e7b4d and the reaction of devs/foundation-members to that article, does resemble the reaction wh

Byteball is an actual working block-chain less cryptocurrency, without a trusted single coordinator as iota has, and has no proof-of-work. https://byteball.org

Oh, the last sentence reveals the purpose of the article" "See, kids, the reason mass surveillance ala Snowden has to exist is because the other side mines and we undermine, its always been like this."

Who runs redis and mysql on public facing ports? Whats the big deal if you run ssh on port 443 as many do, together with nginx on the same port? Or if you run a web-server on port 22 and irc on 21.

Critical how? Its just an informal agreement. Its just a 16bit number.

What do you think of S/Kademlia, or the invite-based DHT Persea?

He has a friend who builds is own shackle, in Hawai of course. But seriously, this is a very very interesting project.

They can. Well. Look, even if you have multiple internets, decentralized everything, distributed all systems, no more Google no more Facebook. What does the communication patterns in such a system look like? Do you use the system after work

Please explain how you would do truly decentralized bootstrapping?

Polonium in tea, or "slaps" while in Guantanamo or solitary confinement like Manning?

Great questions. Today all witnesses are run by main developer. A hub on the Byteball network can push witnesses, if users trust a particular hub they can check a box to pull the witness list, this is just user-friendliness. The witnesses a

The consensus algorithm of both is very unlike the other. IOTA has something like "Monte Carlo Random Walk for Tip Selection by most Proof-of-Work" while Byteball has 12 trusted witnesses to stamp and order transactions as they se

DAGcoin was proposed in bitcointalk thread in 2014, long before Iota was conceived and IoT fairly well known. They dont even use the same underlying technology, unless you consider DAG to be a technology rather than a data-structure. Iota n

They arent related, at all. Byteball is live right now, Iota is still in closed/private beta testing with less features.

It is like calling British currency pound sterling because it was once based on the wight of sterling silver. What you pay in transaction fees is the amount of bytes used to represent your data. Byteball can then also store immutable data o

Turing complete smart contracts are a problem, we will make mistakes, The DAO showed. Programmers can not make perfect software, formal logic is too hard and too expensive. Instead, you can use a cryptocurrency which supports declarative sm

Ive noticed a lack of Assange, Wikileaks and Snowden discussions up in here. CIA Vault 7, like 1 thread or something, yeah right.

They confuse the meaning of "developer". For them its someone who can develop marketing and digital goods - using Photoshop.

The intent was "code as law", then it changed to "authority together with amount of money invested by creators and other investors is the law". All code has bugs, but you dont go asking Satoshi to give your bitcoins back

Check out Byteball too, its anonymity feature is fantastic.

It was not a bug it was not a theft, the DAO worked perfectly as designed. Ethereum failed to work as designed and intented, by its creators it was hacked and funds stolen from the genius hacker.

I think we are thrown into "cost-benefit analysis" to avoid being the only ones who pay. When you go for coffee, you know everyone else pays the same, nobody gets coffee for free. With digital goods, since they are so easy to copy

Software which nags and annoys the user is malware.
