0.000 HBDIOTA video notes - What is it? How does it work? Invest Yes or No?
<html> <p> <strong>IOTA:</strong><br> I talk about<br> - <strong>WHAT</strong> IOTA is<br> - <strong>WHY</strong> it is so interesting<br> - <strong>HOW</strong> it works and whether you should invest in it or not. </p> <p><br> These are just my cliff-notes for my IOTA video on YouTube.</p> <p>German: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8pMr8iP0zmM">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8pMr8iP0zmM</a></p> <p>English: coming soon<br> </p> <p>Official Websites: <a href="https://iota.org/">https://iota.org/</a></p> <p>Whitepaper: <a href="https://iota.org/IOTA_Whitepaper.pdf">https://iota.org/IOTA_Whitepaper.pdf</a> </p> <p>Check out Slack for info! https://ten-x.herokuapp.com/</p> <p><br> <strong>Talk about problem first:</strong> SCALABILITY OF TRANSACTIONS! </p> <ul> <li>• Connect Internet of Things (Explain what it is!) will have billions of things and will need many Micro- and Nanopayments (will explain in separate video!)</li> <li>• BTC: ca 6/sec (Lightning Network & Larger Block size will help) also COMIT!</li> <li>• ETH: ca 15/sec (PoS will increase that though)</li> <li>• most blockchains can’t handle the scalability problem</li> </ul> <p><strong>WHAT IS ITOA?</strong> </p> <ul> <li> IOTA seems like a 3rd generation decentralized ledger (after Bitcoin and Ethereum) trying to solve that. So far: great idea - no application yet - purely speculative.</li> </ul> <p><strong>HOW DOES IT WORK?</strong> </p> <ul> <li> Tangle - open source distributed ledger - no fees, no blocks</li> <li> no difference between user und validator (miner)</li> <li>• data structure is a graph, not a blockchain</li> <li>• graph: objects connected by vertices</li> <li>• objects are transactions</li> <li>• in order to create transaction you have to validate 2 other Tx</li> <li>• arrows point towards confirmed Tx</li> <li>• no blockchain - no blocks and no chain</li> <li>• direct and indirect confirmations</li> <li>• tangle is more regional - not everyone checking everyone! Example of shared work: not everyone doing everything, but trusting others until they confirm.</li> <li>• The more arrows to a Tx, the more confirmations</li> <li>• Tangle is the revolutionary part of IOTA</li> <li>• Slack: find neighbours etc - be careful of scams!</li> <li>¥ Tips: transactions which have no other transactions referencing them.</li> </ul> <p>ADDRESSES: </p> <ul> <li>• Seed: String consisting only of uppercase latin letters and 9's which is used to access an account. A seed is like a private key/password. <strong>Keep it secure and don't share it with anyone.</strong> If someone has access to your seed they can access your account.</li> <li>• Consisting of 81-chars, only latin letters and 9's</li> <li>• Quantum resistant cryptography: Winternitz Signature instead of ECC</li> <li>• <a href="https://eprint.iacr.org/2011/191.pdf">https://eprint.iacr.org/2011/191.pdf</a></li> </ul> <p><strong>Nonces are NOT for PoW - it is for spam protection!</strong> Spam protection: </p> <ol> <li>1. fees (ripple)</li> <li>2. limit (bitcoin)</li> <li>3. work (iota)</li> </ol> <ul> <li>• consensus is part of TenX mechanism - no fees (TenX fees are for consensus from Miners)</li> <li>• Miner vs. User</li> </ul> <p><br></p> <ul> <li>• Nodes have “weight”: the more the deeper the more confirmed</li> <li>• Depth = Time</li> <li>• Weight = confirmations</li> <li>• Height = distance from Genesis TenX</li> <li>• Score: how much have you verified (directly and indirectly) - the higher the better</li> </ul> <p>WHEN IS IT TOO LARGE? Snapshots are being made - coordinators! <a href="https://pastebin.com/NdQjLWbK">https://pastebin.com/NdQjLWbK</a><br> TECH: </p> <ul> <li>• Javascript & Python - that’s good</li> <li>• Go, Rust, C++ too… that’s all good!</li> </ul> <p>WHAT ARE THE TECH CHALLENGES: </p> <ul> <li>• system for NO lazy notes (only certain amount is considered new and ok - f.e. 50%)</li> <li>• Confirmation takes a few hours on a phone - less than a minute on a good computer – better to outsource? Fees could come in there!</li> <li>• Scalability - coordinator right now - should be switched off at some time – should “snapshots” be totally decentralized?</li> <li>• high load vs. low load to keep load low! Goal: keep tips low</li> </ul> <p><br></p> <ul> <li>¥ ATTACKS!</li> </ul> <p><br></p> <p>WALLETS / EXCHANGES: </p> <ul> <li>• <a href="https://github.com/iotaledger/wallet/releases">https://github.com/iotaledger/wallet/releases</a></li> <li>• Initial trading on Slack</li> <li>• Today on bitfinex - why no other exchanges? </li> <li>• New tech! Liquidity squeeze - helps price! </li> </ul> <p><br></p> <ul> <li>• No inflation! Huge amount - MIOTA = million!</li> <li>• 1 MIOTA has 1,000,000 iotas</li> <li>• Why is the price that high? Well, think of how many Satoshis there are!</li> <li>• miota = million</li> </ul> <p>PARTNERS: </p> <ul> <li>• Healthcare , Microsoft, Refugee non-profit, trusted IoT alliance - many other companies:</li> <li>• <a href="https://azure.microsoft.com/en-gb/blog/azure-blockchain-update-5/">https://azure.microsoft.com/en-gb/blog/azure-blockchain-update-5/</a></li> <li>• <a href="https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/iota-spearheads-dlt-research-in-norway/">https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/iota-spearheads-dlt-research-in-norway/</a></li> <li>• <a href="https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/iota-foundation-enters-historic-partnership-with-refugee-nonprofit/">https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/iota-foundation-enters-historic-partnership-with-refugee-nonprofit/</a></li> </ul> <p>OUTLOOK: </p> <ol> <li>1. TX mostly (micro etc. cause no fees)</li> <li>2. oracles in the future</li> <li>3. smart contracts in the future</li> </ol> <p>This simple rule leads to:<br> <strong>the more people use IOTA, the more transactions get referenced and confirmed</strong><br> <br> Economic Problems: </p> <ul> <li>¥ Will it actually work?</li> <li>¥ Will hardware integrate this system? Big challenge.</li> </ul> <p>INVEST - Yes or No? relatively low volume for it’s size (1 billion vs. 10 million cap) & billion dollar market cap… be careful<br> Users? 0 Businesses? 0 Devices? 0 </p> <p><br> I put some money into it - it is risky, but I like when companies push tech forward.<br> </p> </html>
