Title: Internet of Things and bitshares
Post by: severo on September 11, 2017, 02:36:33 pm

A query about the Internet of Things. Can an internet-connected machine do a bitUSD transfer, pay fees in bitUSD, using the Bitshares API and without downloading the blockchain (as if it were an online DEX client)?

If the answer to this is yes ... what the heck is IOTA serving, if I can pay things at their real value with smart pegget assets, and why not advertise to bitshares for it?

Yes, as long as the fee pool for bitUSD is properly maintained.
