This is the same story as every other IOTA project, going back years now. The problems are never solved, they are simply renamed & abstracted.
I hope someone does a full investigation one day.
IOTA isn't contributing to those conversations, they are selling snakeoil.
The IOTA I have was obtained purely accidentally, because the 'S' in IOTA stands for security.
There is literally nothing to say, this isn't highly technical cryptographic algorithm with a subtle flaw, this is a solution built on the foundation of a sybil protection mechanism that *cannot* work because it itself relies on true global state.
You can't solve "nodes can conceal transactions from other nodes" through transaction-based reputation
The only valid assumption you can introduce to solve that is that "transactions eventually get delivered to all nodes in a reasonable time".
(p.s. now you have a liveness problem)
