The Avalanche protocol by Emin Gün Sirer appears to be a breakthrough in this field, apparently even more general in nature than Hashgraph. https://youtu.be/AX

  Just a heads up, but that's not really that similar. The needs for consensus with byzantine fault tolerance for crypto systems and the needs of consensus for distributed systems via paxosy or rafty algorithms are miles apart. The fundamental mathy research is related but the communities and the algorithms for each are quite different.

  If you "discover" something so simple, don't see people using it already, and don't see most(!) people getting totally excited after learning to know about it, then you know it's some kind of scam. It's not clear who is scammed and how. Maybe the guy is scamming himself into believing he has a meaningful job. Who knows. But you can now consciously decide if you want to participate in any role (scammer, victim, police) of that game or simply move on with your life.

    Dude. Have some respect. Emin has been deploying industrial-quality consensus implementations since you were in diapers.

    Comments like these are the reason why the HN community becomes a bubble more and more. New users just don't want to deal with this kind of hostility.
