Distribution of power in DAGs and blockchains

• tony_ch 4y ago
  Summary: in blockchains, the power is concentrated in a few centers, while in DAGs it is more evenly distributed among users. That's because blockchain users only create transactions but have to rely on block producers to add them to the ledger, while DAG users both create transactions and add them to the ledger with no middlemen involved.

    Obyte is 100% premined. So much for even distribution.

      Perhaps you are referring to some other distribution. Distribution of one of the tokens and distribution of power are unrelated in Obyte. The article is a bit more general and its conclusions would equally apply to a hypothetical DAG-based network that uses the same tech but some different way of issuing the native currency.
