For questions relating to the IOTA network as a whole. This includes questions about the reliability, scaling and functionality of the network itself as an implemented version of the tangle based on full nodes running the IRI.

Who approves changes/fixes to IOTA?
There is no miners on the tangle but they are individuals running fullnodes. They are free to run their preferred implementation of the protocol.
So if you fork the IRI and are able to convince the c …

How does a new user verify he's getting the correct tangle?
With the coordinator, it's quiet simple : you must see the milestone transactions in your tangle. If you don't see them: your view of the tangle isn't synchronized. Milestone indexes are public, so yo …

Is IOTA a mesh network or more like a conventional star/tree network?
There is no hierarchy in the IOTA network. i.e. there is no authority relationship between nodes (except for the coo in this early stage).
Dynamic connections between nodes means that connections bet …

Is there a list of all IOTA addresses with non-zero balances?
When a snapshot is done, all non-zero adresses are published with their balance.
Latest snapshot can be found here : https://gist.github.com/paulhandy/74fd70aa1156a7a152da1845358aed5f

IOTA Whitepaper: What is δ?
H(t) represent the expected cumulative weight at time t.
∂ is a way to note a very small delta time.
The first equation explicit the value the H function relatively to the value of the H function a …

Where is the IOTA-Data-MarketPlace API?
AFAIK, the DataMarketPlace API isn't public yet. The DataMarketPlace IXI is currently running on the test-net and API is still under private testing.

Iota White paper section 4.4. Random walkers
A random walker on it's way to tip to approve must randomly select a path at each step. The random walker have the choice between all transactions (i.e. site) directly approving it's current site.

Do nodes reject a spam of zero-value transactions from a single node if it's getting too much?
I may miss something but when looking at IRI source code, I can't find specific code to reject transactions from a particular neighbour or wallet.
The question isn't clear regarding your use-case, so …

Sort transactions in temporal order
Timestamps in transactions are expected to be unix timestamps. Unix timestamps are timezone independent.
Most importantly, timestamps are set by the client (i.e. the sender) and nothing in the protoco …

Will MAM not lead to network congestion?
Transaction size is limited. An intensive data stream will be splitted into many transactions. Each transaction requires a small pow and the idea is that even if it is small, the pow will discourage u …

Does the proof of work needed to attach a transaction fluctuate, if so, what causes the incr...
The difficulty of the POW is also called the minimal weight magnitude. It's up to you to choose this threshold (it's possible in wallet UI). High minimal weight magnitude means longer computation time …

Will the network and nodes be distributed after coordinator removed?
The coordinator plays a role in the network today only because fullnodes accept it. The current version of the IRI handle milestones (i.e. transactions issued by the coordinator) with specific code (b …

How is the Gossip Protocol, which is used by IOTA, classified?
Be aware that such classification is mainly a theoretical exercise. In practice, a concrete implementation of a gossip like protocol may have properties/features/characteristics coming from different …

How to install IOTA in a small device supports LoraWAN?
LoraWAN is a protocol for data-transfer (not a device). It's a very low level protocol, specially designed for low power devices.
AFAIK, LoraWAN is designed in such a way that a small device can send …

Does the Tangle enforce a tip-selection algorithm?
The IRI implements a random tip selection algorithm but you are free to modify it to select again and again the same transaction. It's what you do when you promote a transaction.
