Good to see serious criticism of a cryptocurrency: https://www.media.mit.edu/posts/iota-response … We need more.

This addresses the use of the word "partnership", not my criticism. My criticism has focused on the fact that IOTA issued a press release implying that Microsoft and others *were selling data* on the IOTA marketplace.

2/ In the vast sea of criticism of IOTA, some of it was valid, some invalid. The valid criticisms were very important. IOTA tried to dismiss all of the criticism as FUD and attack those criticizing IOTA as spreaders of FUD generally.

*cringe* at the back-pedalling

Ari, i work for a big corporation and deal with 3rd party vendors. i know how hard it is to get big corps to clear press releases since they have to check with their legal depts. it would be suicide for IOTA to misrepresent the big corps participating in their POCs and ecosystem.

They *did* misrepresent them. Did Microsoft sell data on the IOTA marketplace or not? Let’s stop with with attempted sleight of hand. This is simple. Yes or no? If yes, what data for what price?

not sure what you’re talking about. the official
$IOTA Data Marketplace announcement made it clear it was in public testing phase and is inviting participants for Proof Of Concepts. if people misunderstood it, then i question their reading comprehension. https://blog.iota.org/iota-data-marketplace-cb6be463ac7f …pic.twitter.com/QNdj0VDxhN

I’ve linked to the paragraph in question 3 times that says a dozen companies deployed sensors that are selling data into the marketplace. IOTA team confirmed that paragraph came from them. Not linking to it again in the same thread.
