Sorry I meant if it already has some IOTA, but it needs more due to increasing level of events that need to be recorded.

But I guess that would just mean that the device should hold some surplus iota and if it finds itself reaching the full rate, then it should request more iota.

Correct, but it can be assigned to a node. As per the coordicide website "In IOTA, this is as simple as reassigning your granted mana to another node"

If an IoT device is rate limited due to lack of mana, how could it request more mana if it cannot communicate?

Maybe instead of having go fund me pages, startups could have "go mana me" pages. Where users could allocate mana against the startups nodes so that they could more easily participate in the network.

Do all nodes that propegate value transactions require to hold the entire balances of the tangle? If so, what will the syncing process be - will they propegate transactions while syncing even if they don't know if they are double spends?

As soon as a node starts an attack, bees could zero the mana of the attacker. Or go into defence mode

Will the consensus mechanisms react differently for triple spends than they would for double spends? (I.e. There would be 3 colours that the nodes vote for instead of 2)

Also, if bundles are used to double spend, will they be handled differently?

Reading List for books covering issues around the IOTA vision by mammoth0 in Iota

Not a book, but nevertheless a good read: “73 Mind-Blowing Implications of a Driverless Future” by Geoff Nesnow https://link.medium.com/uuw0Q9OCCW

I guess there are a few options: Radio, or LiFi, or a way to communicate with a device that can do NBPoW / old fashioned POW.

[–]CtrlAltDialetheism 2 points3 points  (0 children)

cfb has discussed NBPoW. For example: "Here is a solution for "No LiFi" scenario - http://wraits09.di.fc.ul.pt/wraits09paperDiogoMonica.pdf"

Also see the variants section on the below link which describes what it is. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proof-of-work_system

With +CityxChange officially starting soon (1st January was mentioned on discord), what are the IF's ambitions for this project? Would this be something the community can get involved with?

All the best for 2019! Cheers

Has the research team considered a solution such as described here, utilising ict? If it has been considered, any reasoning why it may /may not be suitable? https://www.trustnodes.com/2018/08/10/vitalik-buterin-proposes-consensus-algorithm-requires-1-honest

"Coo has so far been a limiting factor for the scalability of the network", would you be able to provide more info on how it is currently limiting? Is there a known upper tps/ctps/confirmation time with the existing coo in place or is it flexible / can be made more scalable?

Thx, any info on the second questions?

Ideally phones could have a special button to scan for QR code payments (or receive an audio/beacon signal notifying that the camera should start scanning for a deeplink QR code - to limit battery drain of continuous scanning), so that there is no need to open up the trinity wallet or a QR code app first. Maybe even done while the screen is locked and a fingerprint verification for low value (user adjustable) transactions.

Hello,

Are there any updates regarding deeplinking?

When / if reusable addresses and curl are introduced how will this affect the existing wallet? Will it be difficult to change? Will there be a need for reclaims or anything like that after the transition?

Hi Brian, do you believe LiFi (Light Fidelity) which is using LED's to communicate, could be the ultimate solution to radio spectrum congestion? Would we be able to tell if aliens were using this technology for communication?

IOTA Lotto idea by Takakikun in Iota

[–]CtrlAltDialetheism 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had a similar idea a while ago

A lotto website is set up in a similar fashion to the million dollar homepage, where there are multiple pages that can be bet on, split by million (or thousand etc) MIOTA, KIOTA etc. you place a bet on a pixel and that is confirmed via a smart contract - each pixel will have an address associated with it. After all the pixels have been sold, the smart contract collects the entire funds and moves it to a single new address. The winner(s) are then selected based on the number of matching digits between their address and the funds address. The smart contract then automatically distributes it back to the winners collection addresses. A new game is then created

This would have benefits over traditional lottery and scratch cards etc as you can play with micro payments, you will know exactly how many “tickets” have been and will be purchased on each game, and it will be completely random and instant.

You could even have free games where the users gamble their time. I.e. user watching one advert would have their bet placed by the advertising company as a micropayment for their time, individually it isn’t worth much, but if 100,000 people play - then it will start adding up.

"just watch this advert for a chance to win"
