I can't believe I read that entire train wreck front to back. If IOTA published this to "expose" MIT, it does quite the opposite. Rule number one, all together now, don't roll your own crypto.

It makes the IOTA team look naive and dismissive of serious concerns.

I'm not sure how this was meant to "expose" MIT or be pro-IOTA in any way.

It actually worked. People who are clueless about cryptography (i.e. like 99% of crypto investors) are totally on IOTA side here. Invancheglo is a grade A troll.

I've noticed that too. They seem to have a decent army of people spreading nonsense on social media right now.

If you post something negative about IOTA you're likely to get a bunch of troll responses from accounts with histories of nothing but IOTA-related likes, retweets, and responses.

If Heilman confuses human engineering for an exploit, he was the one trying to get over on naïve investors anxious to burn IOTA at the stake.
