Re: [gaia] Ammbr: Happy Marriage of mesh and blockchain

i think that post confuses bitcoin specifics with how to do scalable fast
consensus - there are quite a few papers on making consensus scale up to
very high speeds- forthcoming conext paper from keshav has some very
impressive transaction rates..
S. Rizvi, B, Wong, and S. Keshav, "Canopus: A Scalable and Massively
Parallel Consensus Protocol," To appear, Proc. CoNEXT 2017, December 2017.
but for the impatient, you can also read this paper on high throughput, low
latency from folks who are :
very expert in this space (cornell, imperial):
Teechan: Payment Channels Using Trusted Execution Environments
https://arxiv.org/abs/1612.07766

there's a lot of other solutions out there too (I believe deepmind/google
have some inhouse thing they are working on with a target of 10M
trsansactions per sec)....

much of this depends on the workload assumptions though
