I don't think cryptos will ever take off without widespread institutional and gubernatorial support. Can you really trust a currency that the vast majority of people don't understand? Trust is a big part of a credible cryptocurrency. If you're incredibly space-constrained but only somewhat CPU-constrained, it might make sense to encode numbers as ternary when persisting them, as a kind of compression and then to persist them to something else that stores natively in ternary (like an imaginary NAND cell design half-way between SLC and MLC with three voltage levels per cell.) But that's probably nothing to do with what IOTA's doing with it, if they're using ternary as a live representation for computation. pretty much the only existing real-world use I know of for ternary, though.įor a non-real-world argument: ternary is closest to the theoretical "base e" that would have the best numeric packing factor, and therefore be able to represent numbers in the fewest digits. (The "third value" here acts like a NULL does in an RDBMS, but comparing equal to everything rather than unequal.) "0110?10?1") to describe the search queries you want your CAM to execute and the CAM itself needs to be able to store trits so that it can represent bits that "don't matter" and could match a search query with any value in that position. You need to be able to put essentially "trit vectors" on the address bus (think e.g.
There's one place ternary logic already exists-the found in network switches. Devil's advocate arguments, from someone who has never really paid attention to IOTA:
