@taoeffect that's saying that to tolerate faulty networks (or faulty clients), systems *must* be partition tolerant. Bitcoin isn't.
@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
@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
@taoeffect Tendermint, NXT, and Slasher all lack correctness proofs AFAICT
