Yo lo decía reward en plan nodos de DASH o algun tipo de PoS, pero por lo poco que he leído no hay PoS y encima no hay ni fees. En plan altruista total, será difícil que tengan una red grande, a la larga quizás tengan que cambiar algo para que los nodos tengan algun tipo de compensación. Voy a leerme el white paper a ver …
Por cierto, a día de hoy se pueden comprar los tokens en algún sitio?
IOTA is the worlds first Directed Acyclic Graph/Tangle based distributed ledger. This represents a radical redesign of the conventional blockchain architecture. The main difference between a Tangle and a Blockchain is the lack of rigid blocks, instead the Tangle is like a constant stream of settlements. IOTA came up with this model to solve the scalability issues of the blockchains which become very apparent in the world of Internet of Things.
Another unique aspect of IOTA is the core’s absolute lightweight nature enabling it to run on even tiny micro-sensors. With IOTA you can setup a settlement/transactional network for IoT clusters effortlessly and securely in a decentralized fashion. Additionally IOTA has built-in data transfer layer which allows for easy coupling of data streams and compensation models. IOTA plans on delivering the following to the ecosystem:
Setting up a swarm of IOTA payment channels for IoT devices; one click deploy
Oracling for Smart Contracts
Setting up side-Tangle (similar to sidechain in regular blockchains)
La IPO se cerró ya justo antes de navidad. Ahora sólo queda esperar a que salga en exchanges, o comprar por fuera con escrow, pero no es recomendable aún, ya que ni ha salido aún la moneda.
Así lo he entendido yo también … ellos simplemente venden su software.
IOTA has no monetization plans. Of course not, that would make it an asset/security. We always sold IOTA the technology as software, just like Ether in Ethereum and Rep in Augur is software. IOTA software allows you the ability to do transactional settlements, messaging and data transfer with a heavy emphasis on the IoT ecosystem (lightweightedness) CAN this software increase in value? Sure, an integral part of this software’s functionality is that it exist in a fixed quantity, a side effect of this is that it can indeed increase in value with demand, just like all other things that exist in a fixed limited quantity. In fact by the demand side it already has appreciated in value, this is a result of the free market, ANYTHING can increase/decrease in value, but we NEVER made any such promises. The monetization purchasers of IOTA can get is through what they build with IOTA. That is YOUR responsibility as a buyer, not ours.
