I saw these pictures 2 or 3 times before but it's still unclear what you want to know?

Why Byteball is a DAG-coin, not a chain-coin.
Well, it's hard not to see DAG in Byteball design.

- GHOST protocol gives a similar topology of blocks and if we have only 1 transaction per block then there is no difference in first order approximation.
And what?  Of course, there are edge cases.  And I didn't invent DAG if you want me to admit that Smiley

- The whitepaper tells about ordering and the main chain.

And?

- There is no publicly available information on transactions topology in high TPS mode (this would show if Byteball utilizes high scalability granted by a DAG).

Any reasons to believe the topology will be in some way "wrong" in high TPS mode?
