Safenet follows that principle - see e.g. https://medium.com/safenetwork/parsec-a-paradigm-shift-for-asynchronous-and-permissionless-consensus-e312d721f9d8 and https://safenetforum.org/t/maidsafe-dev-update-may-24-2018-introducing-parsec/23647/14 (author of that latter post is David Irvine, inventor of Safenet). - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
