Why wouldn't there be failures only under a complete network partition? So long as one node in one partition may communicate with another node in another partition, then writes may still be performed. Availability would be what is sacr

Yep! Just to clarify, this is entirely hypothetical! I want to know the value-add people would put on such a database if it were to exist. There's little insight from what I've seen in the database market as to what people really

Gotcha! Makes sense to me :). What price tag would you put on this software? There's been a pretty interesting development from what I've seen on annual licensing fees for enterprise features, with the code open-sourced.

It would be possible if say for example, the database was fully replicated in a masterless fashion. The tradeoff is slower writes (there are ways to make it so that the more nodes you replicate across, write latency won't be affected!)

The difficulty adjustment algorithm for Bitcoin is unfortunately very naive - there is a reason blockchain timestamps have a 2 hour deviation. For some data, look into orphan blocks: https://www.blockchain.com/btc/orpha

A fork could be created just by taking the existing longest chain, and attempting to append a block to the frontiers blocks parent, or even to the frontier block itself. It's pretty simple. The time between blocks still is non-determin

Interesting - would love your thoughts, why is it that DAGs aren't very scalable?

Unfortunately not, but thanks for the tidbit on Noise (the crypto protocol). We're open to integrating with best practices in a manner that makes the library more secure, and everyone happy.
