Re: [Din] Hyperledger evaluation on a mesh network

Even simpler, by adding a monetary price metric to a distance vector
protocol (we are currently testing this in production). Skimming your
paper, it looks like you are thinking along the same lines.

Back to the Arjuna's post, the use of a blockchain implies that there is
some value to having an immutable transaction ordering mechanism. In our
protocol we conceptualize these ordered transactions as "payments",
while in Arjuna's paper the actual use of this transaction ordering is
left unspecified.
Running the  transaction ordering consensus protocol on the network
nodes themselves seems like a bad idea. These nodes have more of an
incentive to mess with the ordering than some faraway validators who
know nothing about the specific application and are only incentivized to
order transactions correctly. Also, the fact that there are always going
to be many fewer validators available on a local network means that the
consensus pool is smaller and more vulnerable to manipulation.
I say, leave the transaction ordering to a global network of validators
who specialize in transaction ordering and leave the networking to
network hardware equipped with light clients. With Althea, we are able
to run everything on commodity routers on OpenWRT.
