Nice to see applied to a different domain, but this is a reasonably standard randomized Byzantine fault tolerant consensus protocol, or? Nothing wrong with that of course, just curious why it was deemed newsworthy.
Which prior protocol does it seem most similar to, to you?
Oh, hey there, Coventry :)
I’d be curious to know the same, as well as to hear a comparison between Algorand and:
1) recent work on aBFT protocols, many of which don’t seem to require any kind of staking, and...
2) Chainlink’s off-chain aggregation protocol’s consensys mechanism
