Still, even with that difference, they have the big advantage(for managers) of having their security tested(to some extent, it is a different implementation) at such a large scale at bitcoin.
- benchaney 10y agoThe implementation is what needs to be tested. Consensus algorithms are generally proven rigorously (given certain empirically verifiable assumptions).
- petra 10y agoProven? that's great. You're right, from a technology point of view. But for this system to run, you need to convince a lot of people, from different cultures/backgrounds, to use it. Maybe talking about the safety of the bitcoin network instead of a mathematical proof makes that marketing challenge easier ?
