Show HN: Byztime – Byzantine-fault-tolerant time synchronization
- detaro 6y agoQuite interesting! I'm curious about the use cases - I'd guess for distributed databases that rely on time synchronization? Or even for more general systems, accepting the time drift as a minor downside? (if the latter, is it planned to add external influence? it feels like it'd be possible to "smear" byztime to steer it closer to external time sources?)
- dfranke 6y agoSo am I! Permissioned blockchains (essentially, as you say, distributed databases) are the motivating use case, but I'm excited to discover what uses other people come up with.
