    Iota only use algorithms that are quantum resistant. This includes not only cryptographic but also ones used for consensus achievement.

    man... I wish I new enough about cryptography to dig into that claim...

    Anyone have a TL;DR on what makes a "tangle" different than a blockchain exactly? Not sure when I'll have the time to sift through another whitepaper ;)

      Yeah, I have and it's pretty damn complicated too. Makes Bitcoin's original whitepaper seem like a coloring book. :)
