    Its a shame how all these "TOP 5 ALTCOINS TO THE MOON!" channels have more subscribers than yours. You actually explain the tech behind the products people are just tossing money into without regard. Very happy to have discovered your channel today. Please keep up the good work in helping crypto investors learn, which will hopefully lead to more informed and thought out decisions being made in the long run.

    The tangle is a great idea, but let's not forget that miners are there for a reason. They make sure that the amount of bitcoin in the system is more or less evenly distributed. Otherwise there has to be a single person or company that creates coins and that's where things get centralised...

    • @lordwise3539
      @lordwise3539 5 лет назад +4

      Mining...(proof of work) is old slow tech and has now been proven to be a liability....a weak point in any Blockchain. A situation called a 50% attack is a term that has now become a dirty word in the world of Crypto. And now it is a mad rush to move on from the Mining (proof of work) to Proof of Stake (POS). With POS a person can stake some or all of their holdings, making more of that particular digital currency...thus making their holdings grow in a safer way than POW. As for centralization.....every digital currency and it's blockchain is centralized in the beginning. So, I really hate when people start saying how this project is centralized more than this other project.....as the digital asset becomes developed further down the line (road map) the goal is for the project to become Decentralized. So, that argument is a weak one at best. It just really depends on at what stage in the development process is a particular digital currency at, at the moment. We are so early to this asset class, we are at the beginning of the development of "internet of value" that most digital currency/blockchain are not even close to what they will be like in 10 - 20 years from now.

    Quick question though : at the beginning you mention that it takes two edges to validate a site. Which I understand to mean two directly connecting transactions. When you discuss scalability at 4:46, the site on the far left only has one edge connected in blue color .. is it considered a confirmed site/transaction ?

  • @gustavalbericchidurocher9764
    @gustavalbericchidurocher9764 4 года назад +1

    i see they woud have 3 big problems here (among many others).
    1 - how you would decentralize/randomize who would be "judging" who - if it's not computing power and rewards (already excellent news) how they will define it? random within what? all the users? geographic location?
    2 - how you will decide what has to get downloaded live on the "judging" tangles and what will be on the cloud all the time.
    3 - how the algorythmn wouldn't be too heavy so that let's say, a mobile phone wouldn't be able to judge any transaction and how it wouldn't be too light so that it could be broken fast enough before new tips of the tangle come.
    my best guess is that they should use random cryptography. the cryptography that the next tangle would use to confirm the two of the former should depend on an equation which would be a mix of two of the former blocks randomized by itself in a way that the own cryptography could understand and is updated constantly. so it would be really hard to fake because
    1 old transactions would be old within seconds and really decentralized - so almost impossible to fake an old tangle
    2 in order to fake a new tangle, you would need to get the right equivalency of both equations that would be on the next block, and in time.
    anyway, i really believe this is by far the best idea out there.
    i really hope they have done well on those 2 and a half years.

      @memestv8802 6 лет назад +9

      IOTA doesn't have fees either. IOTA uses a directed acyclic graph while RaiBlocks uses a block lattice. They both don't use blockchains and don't have transaction fees. They have different methods of reaching consensus. In RaiBlocks, everyone manages their own private ledgers and transact with each other by creating a send transaction and the other party creates a receive transaction. RaiBlocks uses delegated proof at stake as its consensus algorithm. This means people vote for representatives. These representatives only act when there is an issue and conflicting truths. The representatives resolve these issues and are rewarded.

    • @kevinyoung4053
      @kevinyoung4053 6 лет назад +2

      The comment that you left 3 months ago was not free to make--it took a little bit of your time, plus the electricity to run your device. However, there is a big difference between "it's not completely free" and "there is a fee." RUclips did not charge you or anyone else a fee to leave your comment, and in IOTA there are no fees. Is it completely free to use? Only in the same sense that RUclips is free to use. In fact, the costs are lower, since you never have to wait for an ad before confirming a transaction!

    • @kevinyoung4053
      @kevinyoung4053 6 лет назад +1

      IOTA's tangle uses only a tiny, tiny, tiny fraction of the amount of electricity compared to mining bitcoin. Someone should calculate how many years the IOTA Tangle could run using the electricity consumed by Bitcoin in a day.

  • @jesusalvarez-ez3pn

    This is a bit of what is coming, the quantum protocol Tangle IOTA will drive the next industrial revolution, solving the biggest problems of the blockchain, some of the huge improvements of IOTA are: zero fees, infinite transactions per second, as that increases the number of users these are becoming increasingly faster and with greater security, artificial intelligence that continuously improves the decentralized economy of the Tangle of IOTA, infinite scalability, without the need for miners, a new financial system built to empower the future "internet of things", by 2020 this technology will be implemented for the creation of smart cities, such as the "Smart City Hackathon" sponsored by the car manufacturer Renault, IOTA is the new gold, blockchain was the beginning, now the technology tangle of IOTA will achieve mass adoption, I leave the data, everyone can investigate the matter.

    Can you do on Ripple and XRP? Also although size is reduced because you don't need the whole "blockchain" eventually when the network becomes large enough and grows enough to have large amount of transactions, IOTA will face the same issue correct?

    • @simplyexplained

    • @fbafelipe7666
      @fbafelipe7666 6 лет назад +4

      On IOTA the device making the transacion does the mining. Note that the marketing of this coin is targeted for IoT devices, which in general are low processing power devices. Thats why they have the Coordinator, which is a trusted node, run by IOTA fundation, which prevent double spending. Until they turn off the Coordinator, it is a centralized coin. They say one day they will turn the Coordinator off, but I really doubt that, low processing power devices are not enough to keep the network secure.

    Which incentive would nodes have to validate transactions if they get no transaction fee or anything of the kind?
    And how does iota prevent double spending? Wouldn't I just need to make a payment to two tips with enough distance to each other?

    • @simplyexplained
      @simplyexplained  6 лет назад +1

      There are no incentives. If you want to create a new transaction you have to verify 2 other transactions. So the incentive is: you cannot create transactions unless you verify a few.
      Double spending is preventing by requiring people to verify 2 other transactions for each new one. Additionally IOTA uses a coordinator which checks transactions and locks the Tangle at certain intervals.

    Shouldn't you mention that IOTA's code is ternary, but needs to run on machines (it's developed to run on the IOT's) which are based on binary code and hardware based systems - thus all IOTA code has to be repackaged into binary, leading to massive storage overhead - apparently not as efficient as they would have everyone believe. In my opinion, this seems to be a valid criticism, so one will have to see how they prove themselves in real world transactions. Also how secure this very lightweight confirmation (compared to regular blockchain) network will turn out to be, once it starts being implemented. On the other hand, it does seem promising, regardless, they just need to address these issues.

      That's like saying "US Dollar next" or "Bonus points next". Ripple is a corporate centralized token, so who cares? No free advertisement for a corporation, please.

      Still a cryptocurrency nonetheless, Im more interested in its recent growth, not its fundamentals.

    In my opinion, I think Hedera Hashgraph is better. Watch the explanation by Dr. Leemon Baird.

    How come that sometimes in the iota wallet my balance is gone and when I connect to a different node it is back?

    So basically, what I got out of this is that IOTA's "Tangle" system can be much faster in terms of transactions per unit of time, and it requires less memory, but it is much riskier and less safe than the blockchain.
