RaiBlocks is looking pretty good with its zero fees and sub-minute transaction times

[thefourthchime]

I thought that at first blush, but they haven't figured out how to incentivize nodes or prevent spam. Pretty big issues IMO

[StavrosK]

Yes, and as much as I like the currency, the perpetual "they'll do it out of the goodness of their hearts" answer to "who will run a node with no incentive" isn't very convincing.

[sethgecko]

Isn't that exactly the same with every cryptocurrency? Why would you run a bitcoin node?

[StavrosK]

No, it's not. A RaiBlocks node is equivalen to a Bitcoin miner. You'd run it because it makes money.

[tehlike]

you can add fees to raiblocks, isn't it just a matter of forking it?

[sanefive]

Raiblocks and IOTA are the two to watch, yes.

[Blindedwino]

IOTA is not made to be a currency to shop online or buy coffee, it's an IoT currency. Stop trying to shill what you've bought. It's also deeply flawed, centralized and its wallet is not user friendly.

[sanefive]

Believe it or not, I don't have IOTA nor XRB in my portfolio.
