Skeptical of IOTA.

Build on promises that have no proof: Coordinator can be disabled, scaling.

Also, it pretends to be open-source but you can't build it yourself because they won't release their real code out of fear of 'copying'...

I like the lack of PoW though, a foundation issuing funds at regular times could fulfill this function without wasting a world of energy.

DISCLAIMER: rode a 50% gain wave and sold.

Only part not open source is the coordinator, which will eventually be disclosed too when the time is right.
