I admit I don't have in depth knowledge of this, just came across it and found it interesting

Free ride!
At some point a winner must emerge in the practical transaction stakes. None of the Bitcoins variants seem to be in the running for that, so it'll be one of the other alt coins.

The problem is with MSM misreporting some of the relationships (which was later corrected).

The official blog post is quite clear on the relationship with these organisations (and for example doesn't mention Cisco): https://blog.iota.org/iota-data-marketplace-cb6be463ac7f

Cisco & IOTA were both founding members of the Trusted IoT Alliance.

Though IOTA did take advantage of people that don't do any research and went along with it. They made no attempt to correct it and say they have no real partnership with anyone.

I never understood how people really thought they had big name partnerships considering how buggy their software is. I must admit though, i got sucked IOTA early on and was hopeful they would get it all working. Turnout out to be all hot air, like with 99% of cryptos. Now people are getting sucked into Cardano.

A Microsoft rep used the word 'partner' in a comment they provided. It is such a dumb thing to be arguing about to be honest as it comes down to different people's view on what 'partner' means, it's subjective. I think partner is a reasonable term to use for those involved in the data marketplace trial, but perhaps collaborator or participator would be more appropriate to stop all the whining.

Come on mate i really thought better of you. Wording is all anyone has to go by so it makes sense that wording should be clear and accurate. Under your interpretation of "partnership" then you could make the claim everyone has a partnership with everyone, if all it means is you had the slightest oversight or input.
As you said "collaborator or participator" would have been a MUCH better choice of words and i think everyone would agree with that.

I agree that it's early days and IOTA is yet to be proven at scale. What bugs does IOTA have? To the best of my understanding the difficulties with the wallet have mostly resulted from a lack of public nodes and organisation of them in a way that's accessible. Not sure I would call that a bug though. It's just not user friendly and perhaps not yet ready for the rate it's grown.

A bug means something that doesn't work as intended. IOTA isn't working as intended atm. Simple, don't complicate things. This might change one day, but it is what it is atm.
 
Ill eat a Snickers and stop being cranky. I just get a bit fired up sometimes with all the madness in the crypto space. I need to learn to let it go and just accept things are what they are.

Funny that i was liking IOTA before anyone was really talking about it here and now everyone is talking/liking it, I'm not liking it. I just found it wasn't going to work as a payment method that will overcome other crypto currencies scaling issues.
Also once i saw IOTA was just focusing on connecting all devices rather then payment transfer, it turned me away. I hate the idea of everything being connected and every device trying to suck as much data about how i use things.
 
Every time I look into a new crypto be it blockchain, DAG, POW or POS they all have the same story. Some new benefits and some new disadvantages but overall never better in real world. Byteball has some good ideas, but like with most i think they spend to much time thinking in theory and less on reality.

Never heard of RaiBlocks, so can't comment.
 
there is no logic, good projects with good fundamentals are losing out to shitcoins, i expect this trend to continue.

The article confirms exactly what I outlined above in my view. Media read too much into the announcement and interpreted for themselves.


Logic in the crypto market? lol

i think you will find it was iota that issued the press release and intentionally misled the media to think microsoft deployed sensors and sold data on their marketplace, not the other way around.
 
just presenting the facts, looks like price has reacted again on the news. it pays not to get too emotional when investing.
 
i am actually an ai bot pointed at silverstakers to test turing completeness, so no emotion :) disclose i still hold a small amount of iota and plan to hold long term, not trading this on speculation as no working wallet, cant move it off exchange.

was not intentional but can see how it could be interpreted that way :)

good to see they are trying to clear the fud, i expect the deal to go ahead just thought the previous announcement was misleading albeit by the media.

Could the resident pedants please go over this announcement with a fine tooth comb? Make sure you approve of this Bosch press release and the specific wording IOTA used on their blog :p

So they purchased some IOTA tokens? What's the big deal, what am i missing? I wouldn't really call this news as other companies have already been purchasing IOTA so they can have a play. Until they say they are integrating it into their products then it's just marketing.

Anyway why would anyone want their toaster, fridge, washing machine etc.. to be connected to the internet? Companies are substituting good ideas and inventions these days with useless gimmicks.

What is a "significant amount"? Might not be as much as you think. Very subjective word.

Bullion Baron said:
Fridge? I can see the use case. I don't have one, but can see the use for a screen on the front to load recipes or news for those who spend a lot of time in the kitchen, sensors on the inside ordering replacement food and drink items as needed, maybe tied to your Amazon / Woolworths / Coles account, etc.

That sounds horrible to me. But I'm the person that still likes to drive to the shops and buy in person :) Considering how hit and miss the quality is these days in supermarkets, I don't trust some under paid kid to pick my fruit, vegetables and meat. Anywho i mainly buy from local places, where they wouldn't offer this terrible service.
