IoT Chain’s integration of blockchain technology is one of a kind. To discourage copycats and maintain our competitive advantage, we are waiting for the completion of the test net to release the source code to GitHub. We feel this decision is justified and will prove that we are the original creator of this technology.

Our yellow paper is indeed in progress and will be released soon. It is new and not the “ITC项目设计方案_v0.1.docx" document found on GitHub.

Regarding the code from Markov’s project, we believe “mcmc” is a good algorithm. We initially planned to use some of the open source code found in “mc.c/h”, “pdflib.c/h”, and “rnglib.c/h”. We stored this inside the folder “src” so that we may refer to it if needed. We later decided it was not a good fit for our project and never called it when developing the ITC Demo. We apologize for the confusion and will ensure we clarify and document the use of all code in the future.

We acknowledge and apologize for the removal of the LGPL licensing information from “dream”, “rnglib”, and “pdflib”, found at http://people.sc.fsu.edu/~jburkardt/c_src. Admittedly, we did not realize the licensing information had to be kept intact for this open source project. Though we no longer are using these documents, we have restored the licensing information and reached out to John Burkardt to offer our sincere apologies Line 64-97,

We thank you for your kind advice. You must also be an engineer and as such, will appreciate what we are trying to accomplish.

IoT Chain is working to connect a large variety of IoT devices, many of which have a limited hardware configuration in the order of a 10-100MHz CPU, 100KB of internal storage, and KBs of data transmission. Embedded programming is nothing like coding standard PC or mobile applications; code has to be incredibly precise to achieve the outcome.

Contrary to claims, our code far exceeds a few thousand lines. However, every day we face challenges of balancing optimization and implement ability with performance and storage. We have refined our code numerous times and even replaced OpenSSL with our own RSA optimization algorithm. We could write millions of lines of code, but it would be meaningless if it could not be stored on the limited capacity of IoT devices. Gorge Hotz wrote code for an autonomous car in just 2,000 lines. We too aim to be the concise compiler.
