diggitydog Posted December 12, 2017 Author Share Posted December 12, 2017 If Ripple lied about a partnership the price would take a steep nose dive. Things that make you go hmm.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XRPage Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 (edited) One of the founders denied this and said the Iota foundation's legal team is looking into this. I wouldnt like to be this journalist right now... Edited December 12, 2017 by AlvaroXRP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zedy44 Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Quote UPDATE: IOTA’s founders reached out after the publication of this story with the following statement: “We have never stated that there was any formal partnership with Microsoft, and instead always referred to them as a participant to the marketplace. The media has overblown the story into a “IOTA launches Data Marketplace with Microsoft”, which couldn’t be further from the truth, as we are working together with more than 30 of the largest companies in the world on the marketplace as a co-innovation exercise. When it comes to our communication and the involvement of Microsoft, we have asked for written and explicit approval of the press release, quote and logo beforehand and have stayed within the boundaries with what we were allowed to do.” TNW updated the title to better reflect the story.

Zerponaut Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 OMG IOTA is so shady. Both of those founders are just shocking on Twitter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Bollocks. I have screenshots of Dev team members posting/retweeting stuff about partnerships. I can post them later, for some reason I can't attach images directly from my phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gjrip Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 Between this and the whole roll your own crypto/intentionally buggy open source code fiasco, these guys have some major red flags. I tell everyone their idea in theory has the most potential, but they probably have the most serious concerns about whether they’ll be able to pull it off.

Dr. Hongquan Jiang, partner at RBVC, will also join the IOTA Foundation’s advisory board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshuab90 Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 Yeah that's unfortunate. They are partnering with those big corporations to test pilot their program. I still think IOTA is going to revolutionize the IOT industry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
