There is a lot of excitement surrounding the IOTA project. That should not come as much of a surprise, considering that its native Tangle technology is very different from traditional blockchains. It now seems the team is preparing to raise the bar by introducing Qubic. It’s said to be another technology that will “change the world”, even though very little is known about it today. How Does Qubic Work? Most of the specifics regarding Qubic remain shrouded in mystery, even though the project will be revealed in the coming days. On the surface, it seems Qubic will change the wayPowered by WPeMatico
In an increasingly networked world, many industries are turning to blockchain, crypto, or distributed ledger technology (DLT) solutions to enable a whole new class of use cases. They involve the two most basic mechanisms of this new wave of technology: sensitive information sharing and networked interaction without the need for a central intermediary. This is set to have a big impact on business soon. For example, when driving economies forward, knowledge and research are sometimes overlooked. In fact, scientific breakthroughs have been one of the core drivers of increased productivity and better outcomes over the past 50 years. Which products are around you,
The list of crimes to earn the opprobrium of IOTA fans is growing by the day. Journalists who fail to pen fawning hagiographies of David Sønstebø and his team are singled out for persecution by IOTA acolytes. But it’s not just reporters who are blacklisted: anyone who tweets a link to an IOTA story – or […]
The Internet of Things has its problems. Even the biggest advocate for IoT tech will admit there’s a lot of work ahead. Scalability and security seem to be major issues on the horizon, and the jury’s still out on whether blockchain can be part of the solution. Speaking to a blockchain evangelist is enough to leave one quivering with excitement about its possibilities. Cross paths with a skeptic, and the blockchain seems to be little more than smoke and mirrors. “Blockchain will reshape the future,” enthuses Drew Prindle at Digital Trends. “This blockchain buzz will die soon,” barks Dary Merckens
What if I told you that not every cryptocurrency uses a blockchain? And what if I told you that one of the most popular cryptos on the market is a blockchain nonbeliever? Well, you best bet your bottom dollar on it, because today we’re going to get acquainted with the Tangle, a cryptographic alternative to blockchain technology. In addition, we’ll be going over IOTA, the top 15 coin that has popularized the Tangle, and whose developers believe that it’s the future of the cryptographic economy. Blockchain: A Brief Review Before we look at the Tangle and what makes it unique,
For the first time in forever, this week in bitcoin was strangely subdued. No major price movements, no regulatory crackdowns and no Tether collapse. Iota got into a bit of a pickle and then blamed everyone else, as Iota is apt to do, but that’s all. Everything was uneventfully ticking over, right up until Friday, […]
