IOTA Message Receiver

Proof of concept application using IOTA Tangle to read messages and values. It's simply the IOTA Leaderboard Example https://github.com/domschiener/leaderboard-example with some modifications. It has to be used in pair with IOTA Message Sender https://github.com/alero3/IotaMessageSender

Differences with respect to IOTA Leaderboard Example

• Proof Of Work is perfomed locally. Usually full nodes forbid POW on their node, so light nodes connected to them can't send messages. In this application light nodes are allowed to send messaging by perfoming POW on their node.
• Application runs in Electron, the same framework used by the official IOTA Wallet
• 0 value transaction are allowed
