Hurricane Iota has made landfall in Nicaragua two weeks after another devastating storm hit.

The US National Hurricane Center (NHC) said the storm crossed the coast on Monday evening.

It had strengthened at sea to a category five storm before making landfall, with maximum sustained winds of up to 160mph (260km/h).

As it struck Nicaragua it weakened to a category four, but the NHC said it remains “extremely dangerous”.

The agency warned of “catastrophic winds, [a] life-threatening storm surge, and torrential rainfall” in its latest update.

“What’s drawing closer is a bomb,” President Juan Orlando Hernández of neighbouring Honduras said at an earlier press conference. (...)

Lessons learned from evaluating #iota on Internet of Things devices

There are few openly available quantitative results about IOTA. Motivated by this fact, we experimented with IOTA on two different #iot devices and two modern desktop and server computers. We found that despite the theoretical scalability of the Tangle, the actual IOTA protocol has relatively high energy consumption. The Proof-of-Work and transaction signing operations are computationally complex relative to the limited capabilities of many IoT devices and and may be impractical on energy-limited / battery-powered devices.Note: this article uses results from the #research paper Distributed Ledger Technology and the Internet of Things: A Feasibility Study, presented in the 1st Workshop on Blockchain-enabled Networked Sensor Systems (BlockSys).BackgroundIf you’re reading this, you probably (...)

Bytes.io — Beta release
▻https://hackernoon.com/update-4-roaming-disruption-app-9897c60521c2?source=rss----3a8144eabfe3-

Bytes.io — Beta releaseFurther to the teaser we published earlier this month, here is a full debrief of our progress developing Bytes, with two small demos and some prediction of what is to come next.Since the Alpha release, we have split our team in two. One half specialises on the building of an #iota based IoT Internet access trading stack. This is a Linux + JavaScript stack (JS is great for IoT too). The other half of the team is working exclusively on our beautiful mobile app.Intro: What is Bytes?Bytes offers a platform for last mile, distributed, Internet access trading. Last mile means we are not substituting ourselves to regular ISPs, and distributed means the trade is not intermediated.No third party is involved in processing or enforcing the transaction, not even ourselves: the (...)

#blockchain vs. #bitcoin vs. #iota

A Beginner’s GuideBlockchain technology is what powers the cryptocurrency Bitcoin (BTC) and IOTA is the newest cryptocurrency that is competing with BTC. So how they are related and what makes them distinct from each other, you will get know in this blog.Bitcoin or BTC is the most commonly known cryptocurrency which uses the blockchain technology, whereas IOTA is another cryptocurrency but unlike BTC, it uses Tangle technology.So it’s either Bitcoin vs. IOTA or Blockchain vs. Tangle, let’s compare:1. Transaction FeesA bitcoin transaction involves a transaction fee of 0.001 BTC. This transaction fee is given to the miner, who ensures that the payer has enough money to make that transaction.IOTA, on the other hand, make you do the mining removing any additional cost that is supposed to be (...)

#blockchain: A One-Stop-Shop to an Autonomous Utopia?
▻https://hackernoon.com/blockchain-a-one-stop-shop-to-autonomous-utopia-305dc13d13be?source=rss-

Have you ever watched iRobot and wondered when we’ll have a fully autonomous society? You may have thought about it. But, you probably couldn’t imagine when this could materialize because, until recently, it’s all been science fiction.Until now, there has never been technology capable of hosting an economy of things. The internet of things (IoT) — the connection via the internet of everyday objects — is, perhaps, one of the most fascinating concepts developed over the last decade.Picture this: the world realizes that it needs a data economy of thing’ to support an exponentially growing population’s lifestyles. Eventually, you’ll get used to eating breakfast and reading a digital newspaper as your car drives you to work. Your car may stop itself for a charge and pick up another passenger as the car (...)

A rundown on DLT, IOTA, Qubic and the Machine EconomyThe Dawn of a New EraDLT is disrupting our SocietyDistributed Ledger Technology (DLT) - IOTA/Ethereum/Hyperledger - is poised to change the way our society functions on a fundamental level, by providing a means for “trustless” relationships - without the need for an intermediary. A trusted system requires checks and balances to ensure that the trust we place in it remains secure, while a trustless system does not.A good example of a trusted system is modern fiat currency. The money we hold in our bank accounts and wallets is backed only by the promise of the government printing it. It’s up to the government to ensure that the currency stays stable and that goods and services can reliably be exchanged for it. The government is the (...)
