Re: [Din] Side meeting on financial technology

oh i guess we'd like to know the read/write rate for transactions on a
given DLT for a given consensus algorithms - this may have a gating
function for whether someone can use it to implement a cryptocurrency,
but that's their call - distributed ledger (e.g. immutable logs) are
definitely useful things and having some open interworking ones is
obviously handy....

libra? i thought that was a stable coin non crypto, non dlt,
centralised mint/check, paypal replacement from some social media
company that needs to compete with wechat:-)? would love to see an
open spec for it...
