The Rise and Fall of IOTA (mIOTA) – A Bittersweet Story

IOTA - A Brief History IOTA is a cryptographic protocol that runs on a unique form of Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT), significantly different from most cryptocurrency projects. It is different for one vital reason; IOTA doesn’t run on a blockchain! As we have tried to iterate multiple times, blockchain, the distributed database technology, is just a subset of DLT. So then, what kind of database technology does IOTA use? IOTA was developed and initiated by David Sønstebø, Dominik Schiener, Sergey…

Introduction to Quantum Cryptography – Everything You Need to Know

To explain what I mean by Quantum Cryptography, I would first dive into what Quantum Computing is. Then, I could say what "Expert" websites say: Quantum computers use the fundamentals of quantum mechanics to speed up the process of solving complex computations. As a result, they can process massive and complex datasets more efficiently than classical computers. But that sounds like a whole lot of gibberish and no talk. So, let's take a bold step and try to break down…
