@bascule Ah you're right, sorry I misread your tweet. -
@bascule Re-reading your tweet, I'm not sure what exactly Bitcoin sacrifices. If a fork occurs, the whole system doesn't break... -
@taoeffect it loses acknowledged writes. From a distributed systems perspective, that counts as broken -
@bascule Well, fine, but I think that applies to every other system you described? -
@taoeffect if it does, then there's something wrong with their correctness proofs -
@taoeffect which is entirely possible, and why they should write their proofs in something amenable to automated model checking (e.g. TLA+) -
@taoeffect I'm pretty sure Tendermint is broken, for example -
@bascule Yeah, Tendermint, NXT, and Slasher all can lose writes due to forks. I haven't had a chance to check Peercoin or Hyperledger. - 1 more reply
