#Iota tangle bug crack#
To prove the security of the new hash function, and to discover any potential bugs or flaws, IOTA has offered a $220,000 bounty for anyone who can crack the hash function. IOTA has hopes that their new hash function will provide a cryptographic foundation for encrypting the distributed ledger it calls the Tangle in the production protocol launched to power the Internet of Things ecosystem. That’s not to say it is unhackable, and IOTA hasn’t made that claim because nothing is completely unhackable, given enough computing power or time. With the new Troika hash function IOTA claims it can overcome any current cryptoanalytic attacks. In the case of cryptocurrencies such a flaw would put your private keys at risk from hackers who could reverse engineer public keys and steal your funds. Hash functions only work in one direction so it shouldn’t be possible to determine the original data from the hash. In the blockchain world this equates to your public and private keys. IOTA Foundation and CYBERCRYPT Announce New Lightweight Trinary Cryptographic Hash Function: #IOTA #Cryptographyįor those who aren’t too familiar with hash functions and how they work, a hash function encrypts data and then maps it to some identifier at a similar size each time. Besides the release of the new hash function, designed by expert cryptographers from Cybercrypt, a leading cyber-security firm, IOTA is also offering €200,000 ($220,000) in bounty rewards to anyone able to crack the new hash function. The promise of security offered by IOTEX is very attractive for small and large companies, which will be attracted “like flies to a honeycomb of rich honey” as soon as they verify that IOTEX fulfills what it promises.The IOTA Foundation announced on Decemthey have released a new hash function they are calling Troika. However, I think that one of the great advantages of IOTex will soon be the emergence of multiple and surprising partners. Little by little his old luster fades, and in my opinion it will be one more in the liza. Its great promises that were attractive in 2017, the speed of the tangle and the absence of fees, will not be so much in a short time: most of the blockchain will have an equal or superior performance, and the cost of hardware processing to confirm two tansactions is a cost similar to a small fee. This alone is an anathema for a DLT, where nothing and nobody is supposed to stop it.

At present it is not even a DLT, but a centralized DataBase with the disadvantages that it implies: for example, did you know that this December has been stopped several hours during a weekend because of a software bug? And only the team was able to set it up. I might be biased, but honestly, as of today I see a HUGE gap between IOTA and IoTeX, but I’m ready to change my mind when I’ll see the same results from IOTAįor me, IOTA is interesting as a theoretical approach, but with a promise of results very distant in time. And all of this in a fraction of the IOTA development time. The only blockchain-based products on the market, ever. An obvious consequence is that we now have real world, commercial IoT products that are Powered By IoTeX, being put on the market right now. Plus, a much bigger vision than was presented in the original whitepaper, including a blockchain + secure endpoints + DID ecosystem. The result? A working blockchain, fast, secure, and with tons of obvious (and less obvious) real-world applications. These people have got proven backgrounds and already gave enough proofs of what they can do, by innovating the fields of blockchain and IoT with excellent software releases and academic papers. XinXin, Jing, Quevan (and all the other that we do not know much about, involved in this project). In IoTeX instead, I saw a solid theoretical design from the very beginning, sure a complicated one, but also feasible if the right people were put to develop it. Nonetheless, until IOTA is “unfinished”, an obvious consequence is that no commercial product can be put on the market which is “Powered-by-IOTA”. And I hope it will, as that would be beneficial to the whole DLTs world.

And until now I’ve not seen a solid “theory” behind IOTA yet, sure it may require more years to reach its full realization, because it’s a complex system. No secret that I love the IoTeX project, yet I don’t consider myself a “IoTeX maximalist”, instead I’m a very practical person i.e.
Well I just want to point out that few of these IOTA “partnerships” have progressed much beyond proofs of concepts (PoC), and none of them resulted in any commercial products. When I talk to someone about the differences between IOTA (using Tangle) and IoTeX (using blockchain), very often the conversation ends with the other person pointing out that “anyway, IOTA has great partnerships, this must signify something, doesn’t it?”.
