Great blog idea. I really enjoy how you are reviewing the hands-on user experience of working with a coin and chain.

I love learning about cryptocurrencies through shitcoins. It helps keeping perspective in check. Keep up the great work.
Thanks! If you have a shitcoin you want me to review, I'm open to suggestions.

Company has been around since 2011, I am very curious why there isn't a single big name that has put it's weight behind this for real production use.
I then tried to build from source. I'm doing some Node development so I have Node v8.x installed (the current LTS version). Turns out the wallet requires Node v6.
At that point I gave up. I also read that Cardano has some great concepts but right now it's still in its first, centralized phase.
Of course it's not meant for IoT. It's written in Java, has the whole ternary nonsense going, and uses custom crypto, which would be really slow to implement, compared to hardware-accelerated RSA or AES most cheap embedded chips have nowadays.

The latest release of the software appears to be from September 2017). I then tried to build from source. I'm doing some Node development so I have Node v8.x installed (the current LTS version). Turns out the wallet requires Node v6. At that poin…

Don't know if it's a shitcoin, but can you review XRP / Ripple?
