Roadmap

Each list below is ordered in terms of priority (higher position = higher priority).

Features

• monitor command (watches a given address for updates in the IOTA ledger*)
• spam command (repeatedly sends a data message to the IOTA Tangle)

* It is worth noting that the IOTA ledger and the IOTA Tangle are not the same thing. The Tangle contains all messages regardless of whether or not they are data- or value-based. The IOTA ledger refers to all value-based messages.

Enhancements

• Clipboard copying (IDs, messages, transactions, data, etc.)
• Better logging and output formatting (indexation, coloring, etc.)
• Better message payload formatting on broadcast (string-ify JSON data)
• More arguments for commands:
  • Node authentication (username, password, and JWT)
  • Specify activity to watch for with monitor
  • Time interval between spam messages
• Data encryption / decryption including algorithm selection
• Broadcasting non-string data (file inputs to start, may use hash of file contents instead)
• Batch broadcasting and searching of messages
