IOTA Passes $3

IOTA is absolutely flying, we announced the huge partnership with 20+ big names and at the moment all I feel like I am doing is reporting on IOTA but I am seriously excited for this currency. I've been watching IOTA for a long time and now seeing all this new money come into it is great, bare in mind this crypto is still in beta, its still not on major exchanges and 2018 could be huge for it. It has just topped $3 at the time of writing this and I am hoping to come back next year and laugh at the price and as always wish I bought more just like ETH

Going to repost some useful links so everyone can jump on board the IOTA train

Buy it from Bitfinex as the rates are generally better. Also if you wish you can use referral code g0xLUWV1YL to get discounted trade fee's. 

Alternatively Binance has now started trading IOTA and you can use their own token to cover fee's. Check Binance out Here

IOTA Officially Partners With Microsoft and Fujitsu

If any of you have been following this blog for a little while you will know that I absolutely love and believe in IOTA and have been posting many articles and news on the currency. Well today we have seen a massive 30% price increase which is continuing as I type this because IOTA has released possibly some of the biggest news to come into crypto

They have officially partnered with Microsoft (YES MICROSOFT) and Fujitsu to lauch cryptocurrency market for the internet of things. So like me you probably went wow thats great news but what the hell does that mean, well.. The initiative, which will allow stakeholders to share and monetize their data in a secure way, aims to demonstrate a proof of concept for a tamper-proof data marketplace. Once uploaded to IOTA’s decentralized ledger, all data is distributed to countless nodes in order to ensure immutability.

Also the above was tweeted which confirmed Fujitsu being included with the partnership and this sent everyone into meltdown within the IOTA community. The big difference with IOTA is it does not use the conventional blockchain technology, it is run on the "tangle" which is not easy to describe but you can see a good visualization demo here for it

IOTA is currently sitting 9th on coinmarket cap with a market cap of $2.95 billion, if you wish to buy some IOTA check out our blog post on where to buy here

Contribute To The IOTA Tangle

IOTA is one of the few projects I believe in and we have spoken about since the start of the year, its the technology the devs and the community behind it that really makes it stand out to me. Also the zero transaction fee's I believe IOTA could have a big big future ahead of it.

Anyway, if like me you are invested in IOTA and wish to contribute to the tangle you can download the IOTA transaction spammer. What the hell is this I hear you ask, well simply it used up a bit of your CPU power in a webpage to confirm transactions on the IOTA tangle, anyone that does this is making a huge contribution to the network. Unfortunately there is no reward for it but if you honestly believe in something then a bit of CPU idle time will go to good use

You can download the webspammer here or use the web version here (no dowload required for web version)

I found having an IOTA wallet open at the time syncs the node fully but it should work without it

Thank you to anyone that contributes
