Why does IOTA use Winternitz signatures?
I found this on the Wikipedia IOTA article:
IOTA uses Winternitz hash-based cryptography signatures instead of elliptic curve cryptography (ECC).[30][31] Hash-based signatures are much faster than ECC.[32]
Is speed the complete reason, or are…

Does the tangle store any node-specific information?
When a node broadcasts a transaction/bundle, is the node IP or hostname only revealed to the node's immediate neighbors, or does this information accompany the broadcast in some way?
Does a transaction on the tangle store anything related to the…

Parse UDP packet into a bundle
I am exploring the https://github.com/iotaledger/iota.lib.go for the purpose of running sort of "analysis" with my current remote node. I couldn't find any code that can parse/validate the transaction from a UDP packet. Is there any implementation…

Does attaching an address reveal its private key?
So it is stated an outgoing transaction from an address would reveal some of the private key. That's why we don't reuse an address.
Technically address attaching is also a zero amount transaction. But does it reveal any part of the private key?

"Multi-signature wallet" from Bitfinex
I saw that Bitfinex announced that they have updated their own multi-signature wallet. Why do they need to do this, is this something that official wallet API doesn't support?

Wallet2Wallet Transaction won't confirm
About ~3 weeks ago I did a 'test-transaction' from one wallet to another. My wallet is always up to date, right now version 2.5.6 . I reattached and promoted many times now, changed node to healthy ones but it just won't confirm.
The node is in sync…

Does the proof of work needed to attach a transaction fluctuate, if so, what causes the increase/decrease?
Can someone explain if the proof of work effort varies with the number of nodes, the number of transactions being made and the proof of work being done by other users. Does it increase over time?
I'm looking for a general answer which doesn't…

Will auto-discovery of neighbors be implemented for full nodes?
The most difficult part of setting up a full node is finding neighbors. Will some sort of discovery mechanism be implemented? If so, when? If not, I’m curious why that would be by design.

How many full IOTA nodes are there, and how many do there need to be?
How many full nodes are there currently in the network? Are there any sites that track the currently connected nodes in real-time?
Leading on from this - which should perhaps be a separate question - is there a minimum number of nodes which is…

Can I call "getNodeInfo" via UDP the same way I can call it over TCP?
I've noticed a lot of nodes with connection_type UDP vs TCP. Are the UDP ones running the same IRI 1.4.1.4 api?
Specifically, I'm trying to write to a network connection:
conn.Write([]byte("{\"command\": \"getNodeInfo\"}"))
I'm not getting anything…

How to run two light wallets at the same time?
I would like to open two (or multiple) instances of the light wallet so I can do more transactions and validate other people's. Is this possible somehow? At the moment I have to logout from one and login into the other one which is a pain.

How long does a transfer IOTAs from the wallet to the exchange (Bitfinex) take?
Downloading IOTAs from the exchange to the wallet is somehow slow but in the end it works. Uploading just does not seem to work even using the reattach or promote options.
