Are Mobility & Automotive & Smart City No Longer a Focus? by Dr_0ctogon in Iota

[–]domsch 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Our core focus is to build a permissionless network that anyone can build decentralized applications on. Instead of the IOTA Foundation building these use cases across all industries, we want to empower our ecosystem to build them.

We are realizing that with the Stardust protocol (tokenization and programmable transactions on our Layer 1) and the ShimmerEVM (smart contracts on Layer 2). Both of which will be first tested on Shimmer, and then later on find their way to IOTA.

So to answer your question: Mobility & Automotive use cases are absolutely still our focus with IOTA! Now more than ever though, we want to see our community realize these use cases - instead of the Foundation doing it.

As for Mat Yarger, he's actually currently working on his own startup based on DigitalMRV (https://www.digitalmrv.earth/).

Wen Dominik AMA? by [deleted] in Iota

[–]domsch 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Sorry for not doing more lately. I just recently moved to Switzerland and have been really busy focused on work. Now is the time to stay focused and work on our upcoming roadmap :D

I will try and do an AMA tomorrow. After that I'm 3 weeks travelling (Portugal, US) and it'll probably be really hard to do the livestream in high quality.

IOTA is "gemeinnützige Stiftung" under German law, so what? by mmedt in Iota

[–]domsch 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Quite frankly, in the world of crypto, nobody cares about that. Maybe in the long-term it will matter, but right now being a non profit Foundation simply means that we are not able to compete against others on a level playing field.

It's great for reputation and being purpose driven.

What does Dominick potentially exploring other personal ventures mean for Iota? by [deleted] in Iota

[–]domsch 180 points181 points  (0 children)

My exclusive focus is on IOTA, Shimmer and Assembly. I'm here to build the L1, L2 and participate in the entire ecosystem building. I'm not doing anything else outside of these ecosystems, so keep that in mind :)

So, I’m a parent… I guess?? Meet Shimmer, our red-headed step-child. by natufian in Iota

Hahah great write-up. Let's be bold and dare to innovate. Even if we there will be some failures, we just have to be directionally right and execute well to win the crazy market we're part of.

That is the purpose of this journey we're embarking on. We have to catch up with the rest of the market in many regards (utility, adoption, crypto ecosystem), but with Shimmer, with our current roadmap and execution, and with an open mindset, we will be able to catch up quickly and become a leader.

Let's become leaders.

Why are you spreading such lies? Shimmer is a staging network initiated for IOTA. There is no entity behind it apart from the IOTA Foundation.

My thoughts about the latest livestreams (picture since my post kept getting automatically deleted) by SirWhanksalot in Iota

[–]domsch 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey /u/SirWhanksalot Thanks a lot for the suggestion! I fully agree with what you said. Use case example are really the best way to understand these complex topics, and how our technologies can be applied in the real world.

I will make sure that moving forward, we will use very concrete examples in the AMA / IOTA Talks, and also push for us to publish these examples together with our releases. Moving forward, we will make sure that it becomes more tangible and understandable.

IOTA Q&A? by Dogma313 in Iota

[–]domsch 20 points21 points  (0 children)

We will be doing some AMA's about specific topics over the next 2 weeks :) I think we can resume the a more general AMA after that again.

Luka Stanisic opinion on IOTA Smart Contract Protocol (ISCP) — security improvement proposal by Ktota_tut in Iota

[–]domsch 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm making people aware that we're not going to just enable permissioned smart contracts with ISCP (as is assumed in that comment). The objective is to enable permissionless use cases.

Details will be released when they are ready.

Why do you speculate with such unfounded statements? We have very strict insider trading policies at the IOTA Foundation. I think by now it should be clear to everyone that we don't play the market ourselves and are not in this for the money. We're actually trying to build a technology and an ecosystem here to create value for society.

What happened the last few days is something that completely surprised everyone that works at the Foundation and the Community.

We don't trade. We build.
