@TheDLTimes @Tek_la_iota @navinram999 @DomSchiener Aptos and Sui ... when two fight, the third rejoices!

There will be an intense discussion over details in the design between both projects and interestingly our arguments and our details will beat both of them quite easily.

@TheDLTimes @Tek_la_iota @navinram999 @DomSchiener IOTA is not in a race against time (we lost that race long ago) - its in a race against perfection.

If anything this can be seen as a huge verification of our work and tell us that we are not only in line but even slightly ahead of the best researchers money can buy when it ...

@TheDLTimes @Tek_la_iota @navinram999 @DomSchiener ... comes to the capabilities of our tech framework.

We will be as fast and scalable as SUI but at the same time offer a few extra features:

- faster finality / even more efficient execution
- more decentralization
- more security
- more robustness (i.e. in times of war)
- ...

@TheDLTimes @Tek_la_iota @navinram999 @DomSchiener ... - elimination of harmful forms of MEV
- deterministic settlement (you sign the exact outcome of each tx rather than "intent")
- built in and very efficient fraud proofs on L1 state transitions (imagine that - we can even support fraud proofs for their VM)
- and this list ...

@TheDLTimes @Tek_la_iota @navinram999 @DomSchiener ... goes on ...

Our framework is vastly more powerful than theirs and I really mean it when I say that it's going to be the best DLT you can possibly ever build - maybe people will finally be able to wrap their head around this fact being true.

The entire space is ...

@TheDLTimes @Tek_la_iota @navinram999 @DomSchiener ... converging and research is coming to an end and the best solution the space can produce happens to work somewhat similar to what IOTA is building which happens to work like an almost 40 year old interpretation of quantum mechanics (TIQM).

Maybe they will beat us to ...

@TheDLTimes @Tek_la_iota @navinram999 @DomSchiener ... market and pump earlier because they have VC backing and don't go the full way but we will ultimately still beat them and the human mind is always looking for the "next big thing" so IOTAs time will come soon enough.

IOTA is going to be the "last big thing" and after ...

@TheDLTimes @Tek_la_iota @navinram999 @DomSchiener ... that there can be no significant improvements any longer that don't happen in the realm of meta-protocols or by tapping into quantum mechanics itself to just provide a new form of DLT that directly harnesses the non-cloning theorem of nature.

We are building a protocol ...

@TheDLTimes @Tek_la_iota @navinram999 @DomSchiener ... that is able to vote on an infinite amount of conflicts with 0 messaging overhead, with direct participation by the users, the corresponding ability to directly measure social consensus (hint: people.csail.mit.edu/nickolai/paper…) and we have built all of that that with ideas of ...

@TheDLTimes @Tek_la_iota @navinram999 @DomSchiener ... Satoshi in mind which means "open participation" and that it continues to function even if 99% of the validators just disappear (and it even stays secure in that setting due to the continued use of social consensus to provide a notion of irreversible finality).

We really ...

@TheDLTimes @Tek_la_iota @navinram999 @DomSchiener ... don't have to hide ourselves - in fact I think that IOTA is the only project in the entire space who can still compete and still has a narrative - everybody else can just go home (including ETH).

And being late here is really not a problem as you can leverage and suck ...

@TheDLTimes @Tek_la_iota @navinram999 @DomSchiener ... up all the research of these projects to design the "end boss" DLT that we are all envisioning.

You really don't want to end up like Radix who have built their own move-like SC language (props to the people behind radix for seeing this shift in paradigms ahead of time) ...

@TheDLTimes @Tek_la_iota @navinram999 @DomSchiener ... but then see another language / project take over by having more visibility providing the same features (or like ETH who built a beacon chain for L1 sharding but then abandon L1 scaling half way through).

Being able to choose "their" VM will not only allow us to tap ...

@TheDLTimes @Tek_la_iota @navinram999 @DomSchiener ... into the huge amount of developments that can be expected to take place on these new platforms / new language but we will also be able to leverage their narrative and be "one of these next-gen projects" that can still keep up.

Furthermore we can force these projects ...

@TheDLTimes @Tek_la_iota @navinram999 @DomSchiener ... into a "narratives game" that we can only win because we came from the angle of maximizing decentralization while they came from the angle of maximizing computational throughput.

I am extremely happy about this development because it not only means more competition ...

@TheDLTimes @Tek_la_iota @navinram999 @DomSchiener ... (that we can beat) but it also means that we can agree on a good candidate for our L1 SC VM as MOVE is a really interesting candidate (and a much better alternative than i.e. Cardanos Plutus).

Btw. I also disagree with your statement that the IF is slow! Ever since we ...

@TheDLTimes @Tek_la_iota @navinram999 @DomSchiener ... changed course last August, we have made amazing progress and in fact, I expect most of the coordicide related research and implementation of a first fully functional MVP to be done within the next 3-4 weeks (bare with me if it takes a few weeks longer - as I always ...

@TheDLTimes @Tek_la_iota @navinram999 @DomSchiener ... happen to be too optimistic but we are approaching a new MAJOR release in the coming weeks). Monitor this PR if you want to be up to date: github.com/iotaledger/gos…

We have been researching the wrong things for a very long time and we should recognize our failure to ...

@TheDLTimes @Tek_la_iota @navinram999 @DomSchiener ... understand the benefits of our new solution ahead of time but our progress since then has been nothing less than astonishing.

I started coding when I was 10 years old so I have seen alot and been coding for more than 28 years with different groupd of people but I have ...

@TheDLTimes @Tek_la_iota @navinram999 @DomSchiener ... never worked with a team of more capable engineers that I am working with right now.

Every single person in the IF is nothing less than fantastic!

Big props to Andrea, Jonas, Piotr, Daria, Vivian, Billy, Luigi, Sebastian, Olivia, Max, ... (this list can go on forever ...

@TheDLTimes @Tek_la_iota @navinram999 @DomSchiener and I would really hope that these guys would be more active on twitter as they are all really interesting individuals).

WAGMI - House of Tudor baby!
