Isn't a double (n+1) ledger the definition of the inability to double spend (presuming Atomicity or reconcilability)? That's a genuine question.

I mostly agree with this - bite-sized chunks is really the main ingredient to success with complex code base reformations. FWIW, if you want to have a look at a reasonably complex code base being broken up into maintainable modules of moder

Please - Look up the monetists, who proposed 20% overnight lending rates to combat erosion (inflation/stagflation) back in the 1980s. The erosion we are experiencing is a brand of Monetary policy called Keynesianism - being ultra low
