The only place we can view information on this is on GitHub?

Right, 2 files on GitHub(API/Readme) + source code. Will write some docs on architecture / details.

Very interesting. Sadly, I know nothing about Scala. Sad

Is part of the idea to make the code as short as possible? Kind of like those <1 kB chess programs that attempt to do the same? If so, wouldn't adopting proof-of-work rather than proof-of-stake help simplify things even further? Or are proof-of-stake systems not significantly more complex than proof-of-work systems?

With PoS it's simpler to run smaller networks, even a single running blockchain on a local machine. Both PoS algos implemented are pretty simple in fact  Smiley
