Proof of work is probably an acceptable solution for proof of concept but anonymous consensus isn't needed for for collaborative document editing.
I'm still thinking if this use cases needs timestamping or atomic broadcast.If timestamping is sufficient, Google's new roughtime protocol would do the job well. Otherwise you need a proper atomic broadcast algorithim like RAFT, Tendermint, Honeybadger etc.
Great work.

- socrates1024 10y agoThere doesn't appear to be any mining, proof-of-work, anonymous consensus, or fault-tolerant consensus of any kind in this project. I think they just threw the phrase "Nakamoto blockchain" in there as inspiration, really they are just using hashchains from 1999.
