It's been quiet around IOTA for a while, ... incomprehensible why anyone would use IOTA for anything. it is run by people (come_from_beyond and other questionable characters whose understanding of Math can best be summed up as "Numberwang"). People who think that collision resistance doesn't have to be a primary feature of a hash functions.

the IOTA guys have been ignorant towards any criticism from the cryptography experts (ask people like Matthew D Green and others). IOTA is a total clusterfuck. Don't use it. Or if you do please check at least twitter to see what people with an actual idea are really saying.
