goshimmer VS documentation

I highly recommend searching for "IOTA 2.0 devnet" - it's a *public* test net running for an year with a new OTV consensus entirely without Coordinator. This is the result of literally years of research (link to research papers: https://www.iota.org/foundation/research-papers ). This is the exact link to the git repo of IOTA 2.0 devnet node software: https://github.com/iotaledger/goshimmer The purpose of Shimmer is to test out these solutions (that already exist) in a real live network - Coordicide will land on Shimmer in a series of modules, which should start happening in the next few months.

Who cares about discord and twitter. He is working even on weekends. https://github.com/iotaledger/goshimmer/commit/3e27a8cb7f128c67244c3d44914b62c078febbd1

That's exactly what the iota foundation is doing, they have built a network where there are no blocks, no commission fees, no miners, the protocol is leaderless, everyone can write on the ledger with their own node. Essentially the network is not competitive (miners trying to mine the block first) but contributory, like bittorrent. Notable fact about congestion, the network exchanges messages that can be only data or economic transactions, the exchange of messages is so fluid that they had to implement a complete congestion protocol in the node with algorithms similar to the TCP layer and a message scheduler. If you're interested in learning more about the technical side, here's a link to their wiki. https://wiki.iota.org/goshimmer/welcome

GOSHIMMER (Coordicide Testnet)

As far as the IOTA ecosystem as whole, we primarily use Rust. Go is being used for prototyping IOTA 2.0 with the GoShimmer node along with some other projects I believe, but Rust is used in the main ones (e.g. client libraries (iota.rs and wallet.rs), Streams, Identity).

[GoShimmer 0.8](https://github.com/iotaledger/goshimmer/releases/tag/v0.8.0) is now out, which means that a working prototype of the final "OnTangleVoting" consensus mechanism is now running on the DevNet.

The new docs are at https://docs.iota.org and the one comparable to the old one you linked would be probably this one: https://wallet-lib.docs.iota.org/docs/libraries/nodejs/examples

I recently graduated in Economics & Management and started working in one of the big 3 (Bain, BCG, McKinsey) few weeks ago as Strategic Consultant. Although I am passionate about technology, I have no technical background in this area. Since 2016 I have followed the evolution of cryptocurrencies and more particularly of IOTA following a discussion with a friend. I feel that my company is not exploring enough the potential of blockchain or, in this case, tangle. We (in Belgium) are always too late compared to other countries. Being a junior associate, I would like to specialize myself in the solutions that this new technology can bring. Unfortunately, I don't know where to start. My company is working on different projects in different industries: digitalization, smart cities, automotive supplychain, ... They also work a lot with EU Institutions. The potential is enormous. Do you think that https://docs.iota.org/ would be a good start for me to go deeper into understanding the tangle and its possible applications?

I’m not sure if this is fully updated, but you can find some info here: https://docs.iota.org/

Which criteria does IOTA not fulfill? Its number 25 by marketcap at $4,230,220,945, has extensive documentation, and I'm not too positive about the API being based on BitPay Insight but surely it could be accomplished.
