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

Keshav’s work seems really interesting. To those that are really really impatient, as I was, you can check the slides here so you have an idea:

LOTKeeper: A Scalable and Massively Parallel Consensus Protocol <https://www.google.pt/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&ved=0ahUKEwiq0-TVqbjWAhXNSxoKHdOuA80QFggmMAA&url=http://blizzard.cs.uwaterloo.ca/iss4e/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/EnergyBlockchain.pptx&usg=AFQjCNHDrgfpoQf2hG_yjtRy1KnQZOPQfg>

NB: there are many hidden slides with more detail. Also note slide 76, based on the original one from Marko Vukolic, that shows pretty well what they achieve - very cool.

Thanks for sharing Jon.

Cheers,

Fernando
