QUBIC - IOTA's Mysterious "Q" Finally Revealed!

in cryptocurrency •  7 years ago 

After months of speculation, the IOTA Foundation has finally revealed what's behind "Q".

Using IOTA as the backbone, Qubic will incorporate oracles, smart contracts, outsourced computing and much more!

In this video, I offer some of my initial thoughts on this announcement.

This update sounds very interesting, but isn't IOTA still running a centralized co-coordinator, or am I misinformed?

LOL Good point about the Charlie Lee hype. In crypto, you always have to be very cautiously optimistic.

:) Sounds super awesome. I've noticed that there are many cryptocurrency projects that have a focus on connecting different things. And I love it, since that is what makes a cryptocurrency relevant (its uses in other areas).

It reminds me of projects like Ethereum where Cryptokitties were born, Steem with SMTs, and oracles are super relevant in Byteball, so I think that this goes hand in hand with the trend. And at the same time, since the hype is so big, I hope that Qubic is not just another platform for tokens but something really big and nice that will make everyone be in awe with their project. :)

I'd really like to hear your predictions, but I guess I'll wait until there's proper news.

Qubic like any major announcement will result in short term pop while hype carries people into instagating and propogating price pumps, but as always what goes up...

Iota is not done and neither is any other major crypto, they are all works in progress. IOTA has a long way to go to fulfill its potential, and I am invested for the long term. If you believe in the vision of the project buy it, and forget it for 5 years. I really think IOTA could be enormous but that growth will not be justified and resolved by this announcment or even the June 3 release of Qubic.

There will be many months and years of trouble shooting Qubic and all the future development that will make IOTA what it aims to one day become.

Very exciting nonetheless, glad to hear good news for this project. I believe deeply in their future.

In short, when moon? Later.

Recently I put IOTA to my watch list. I think IOTA is figuring out it way to the top. Not too long ago, I thought Qubic would be closer to financial institutions than other crypto. I have a feeling that it might be allowing fiat-based smart contracts. So imagine a smart contract that is able to be executed based on fiat deposited into a traditional bank account. This will be Breakthrough for banks, institutions as well as tech companies.

I bought IOTA at the beginning of the year, but during the crash I sold because I had lost a bit of confidence in the coin and also because of fear.

With this announcement, I think I will reconsider buying a bit to hold for some years, IOTA is a very ambitious project but still needs a lot of time to make real what they propose. The Tangle still has many things to improve.

IOTA to the moon. I've been holding this for a long time. The best is yet to come. Too sad Microsoft is not a partner.

This will hopefully reflect in a positive way on IOTA's price because the price has been stalled for a long time around the 2$ mark but it was almost 5$ on December.

Bought IOTA in early December and it has given me quite the return.
Qubic................so finally that is Q.

I have also read that it will be a platform for the greater community and ecosystem to create things we can't even imagine yet.
IOTA is now the 7th biggest cryptocurrency with a total market cap of $7.2 billion.

Thank you for sharing your informative videos as usual.
‘Q’ using IOTA will be the beginning of much more projects. IOTA is growing 10% in the last 24 hours and each coin can be bought for $2.5 dollar

This is actually a massive step not only for MIOTA and IOTA platform but also for cryptocurrencies worldwide as this is a perfect example of how blockchain technology and digital assets could be implemented into everyday life

This is great fundamental news for IOTA.... It wouldn't be surprising if it were to go up in price when people start to hear about these additions to the project. We know he had an explosive rally last year... Let's see what happens this year, with this cryptomoney!

Greetings colleague @louisthomas

So it is Qubic...
Many good features.Oracle ...smartcontracts....All sounds great.
Isn't IOTA a coin created by Swedish government or am i wrong?
Great video @louisthomas

No it was founded by David Sønstebø, Dominik Schiener, Serguei Popov and Sergey Ivancheglo in 2015, IOTA is managed, funded and operated by Berlin-based IOTA foundation. It uses MIOTA as the main cryptocurrency.

David is in Oslo, but the IOTA project is distributed across the globe, but their headquarters are in Berlin, Germany.

And if you want to know more about IOTA or one of its founders (David Sønstebø), check out the video by Ivan on Tech, where Ivan interviewed David, here is the link:

Given the financial backing and partnerships IOTA have I am sure that they deliver something but in what timescale ? Technology road-maps are great but "the proof of the pudding is in the eating". I would have been more impressed if they had stayed in "skunkworks" mode and only made an announcement when they had actual product or at least a technology demonstrator.

IOTA's Mysterious.. !!!!!!!!
That's very special...It gives us more facilities than previous.and it has many features that more effective......Thanks @louisthomas for your awesome update ...

We all know about the evolution of IOTA, so it wouldn't be a big surprise if it continues to evolve as people decide to support this project, just wait how explosive it will be this year, we saw what happened last year so anything can happen... @louisthomas

I have also read that it will be a platform for the greater community and ecosystem to create things we can't even imagine yet.
Q, the mysterious project surrounding IOTA has finally been revealed.
After years of work, the IOTA Foundation finally announced that Q is a monocle.

The project has been financed by all ICO investors and the generous community members that donated 5% of all available tokens to the IOTA Foundation.

Developers said that the revealed project is about to the change the world and frankly, they didn’t overstate the exciting announcement.
The IOTA monocle is incredible. Also the resemblance to a Q. How puristic.
The IOTA foundation decided to advertise the fresh accessory everywhere.

Using IOTA as the backbone, Qubic will incorporate oracles, smart contracts, outsourced computing and much more
Qubic enables Smart Contracts, Oracles, Outsourced Computing and lots more. Qubic, using IOTA as a backbone, will be the foundation of plenty more projects that we have in motion already, but more importantly, it will be a platform for the greater community and ecosystem to create things we can’t even imagine yet.

oh its Q which is a just more than that of I was remaining . I was greatly remaining a structure for enough computing. The smart contract which keeps a some content for IOTA.,,so great analysis for IOTA,,
i agreed your video of informations

I totally agree with you on your first thought my friend. Thanks for the insight.

This seems quite interesting to me

Thanks for sharing this informational crypto video, iota is a promising crypto coin that has alot of potentials both for its anomity and sucurity , the price of iota is increasing steadily . Nice video @louisthomas

IOTA all the way then.
Thanks for sharing.

IOTA, is doing great in market cap chart, holding Iota is very good assets to invest, thie the video have shown more enlightenment about IOTA, thank you for sharing this video.

This announcement by IOTA is giving it much more confidence and support to it, it needs to be revealed more information about their projects.

but I think that it will rise because of the expectation generated.

Thanks louis for sharing
its going to be huge iota 0/ or at leats like december
all cryptos are going to rise to heaven

Awesome project from IOTA , i think it's a great opportunity to investing .
Thanks for share it.

It does looks very interesting by the way .

thanks for the heads up buddy !

Thanks for sharing this cryptocurrency.
I appreciate your blockhain.

Lmfao! @louisthomas didn't know you had created your own blockchain lol.

I think it will make a great reputation in cryptomarket.
Qubic also a gorgeous name.

People regarded IOTA as fake currency. Where are those people ?
IOTA to the sky. I think it's better to hold IOTA for long term investment.

Interesting update . Always good informations about crypto . Congratulations @louisthomas

Great and objective review!

However, I still can't grasp, how a coin where half the messages in the IOTA Telegram are about wallets showing 0 balance, users being suggested to generate more addresses, re-attach to the tangle and manually push transactions through, has become this popular.

As another user already mentioned, another DAG-based coin, Byteball, has had smart contracts available in human readable language right within their stable wallet for ages. Byteball even have an in-wallet fiat on-ramp making it super friendly to new users. They have attestation bots, that allow users to attest their identity and another attesting users' status as accredited investors thereby being the first ICO platform to actually allow for fully compliant issuing of securities on their platform.

I simply fail to see the hype of IOTA, but naturally, I've bought into it. You have to give it to the IOTA team, that few are better at marketing their projects than IOTA is. Perhaps that's really the biggest difference between the technically far superior Byteball platform and the promotionally far superior IOTA platform.

Anyways - Looking forward to more interesting videos from you.

Cheers mate

@louisthomas sir that's awesome looking forward to this project

One of the most lucrative ways to make money with cryptocurrency is to actively engage in day trading UnitedFinances can help with urgent money need. However – there is a slight catch – you will need to at least have a basic understanding of how to analyze prices to determine whether the token in question is likely to rise or fall in value. If you can do this, you can make money trading crypto throughout the day.
