This invention is supposedly possible through the use of something called a 'directed-acyclic-graph'

Before I bought a single IOTA, I read this whitepaper and it's pretty indecipherable. I'm a pretty technical person myself, but this paper was not written in a way that anyone can easily understand.

That Code Suppository "article" (blog post) is complete rubbish.

The issues in 2nd article have been fixed.

IOTA is being attacked with FUD from all sides, some people really don't want it to succeed.

There's a pretty complete thread on reddit with most FUD in it and why it's not valid:

Here's an article by one of the IOTA founders addressing your second article:

Every cryptocurrency have had their vulnerabilities at some time in the history, I don't see how this is relevant to the topic. Also he claims have been debunked by the IOTA team - https://blog.iota.org/curl-disclosure-beyond-the-headline-18....

What's actually stored on the ledger? Like if I make a blog post with title "Hello world" and body "1234", would those two strings be on the ledger?

Hey, one of the authors here. Short answer - yes. Together with some meta data, the published content is signed by the author, encrypted (read more here on how exactly https://blog.iota.org/introducing-masked-authenticated-messa...) and stored on the Tangle.

Fog CMS helps with the content publishing and is one of the ways on how to read and display the content from the Tangle.

Wonder why you only post the old negative articles. There are maybe 5 articles that claim they found something negative, but 20 that are positive or directly debunking the negative articles using credible professional sources.

The nonsense about the 'vulnerability' neha found got destroyed in multiple answers. either directly from the devs or from independent sources.

Just yesterday one of the core devs answered (again) to the claim by narula: https://medium.com/@comefrombeyond/cfbs-comments-on-https-ww...

Your post shows the classical signs of a FUD-Attack. Excellent explained in this article: https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/mind-in-the-machine/201.... Here is IOTA as Victim of ongoing targeted FUD-Campains identified.

Because he's not invested in iota like you clearly are.

So this John Ratcliff is actually crying because he can't reuse his address after sending from it. Please do know that Iota uses Winternitz one-time signature. Iota team discussed already the pros and cons of this choice. And not reusable address is a known and conscious decision from the devs.
