1/15 Avalanche Consensus uses a DAG data structure, runs on the X-chain, a no Smart Contract network with a simple "Account to Account" Token Transfer VM. This Consensus Mechanism is unable to do a total ordering of transactions. So is it really Distributed Consensus? 🤔
2/15 Avalanche figures out that its Consensus is unable to totally order transactions, a requirement for Smart Contracts. They spin out a SC C-chain, throw the DAG away, and create Snowman Consensus on a linear #blockchain.
Easy right? One block over another. Order solved 😊

3/15 Oh but wait! What if 600 nodes are gossiping at the same time. Which block should we append at height X?
That's easy too! Throw the Leaderless part in Avalanche, upgrade to Snowman ++ so you wouldn't need to do extra work to achieve consensus as Prof. Sirer confirms below.

We took over a party on ~10%, worst constitutional crisis in century, much of deep state angling for BINO or 2REF. So we wriggled thro with best option we cd & intended to get the 🛒 to ditch bits we didn't like after whacking Corbyn. We prioritised. Now time for IM2 #Frosty
For all the cant about international law, a/ states break it every week, b/ the idea it's the epitome of morality is low grade student politics pushed by lawyers/officials to constrain politics they oppose. Govt shd focus on solving problems & chill viz "i/n law" viz NI #IMBill2
Shd we generally stick to deals? Of course. Sometimes break them? Of course. Just like the EU, US, China and every other state does. International diplomacy cannot be judged by the standards of a student duel, and lawyers are hired help not the masters
.@headsUPmigraine spoke w/ a rural #PCP hounded out of the profession by relentless pressure to stop rxing #opioids. She was the only PCP in +100 miles willing to accept patients on opioid therapy. Most were over 70. 2018 #AMA statement shows many share her frustration. >thread
