No new development? So sad. DAG chains are the future I believe.

BitLattice is a post-blockchain system, so its not a chain. The chain structure is limited, blockchains for example have to let a single node add hundreds of transactions at a time, into a block, to prevent collisions that would occur if all nodes appended transactions simultaneously, and so proof-of-work or proof-of-stake is used to introduce a bottleneck. In BitLattice, because the lattice has not just one position for new transactions (the next element in a chain) but thousands or millions in a vast multidimensional lattice, how I've understood it is that nodes can work in parallel, and then synchronise with one another while adding new transactions in parallel, all at once, through a toroidal network where replication of transactions is very very fast.

So since BitLattice is not a chain, the probability of collisions when appending transactions are very small (whereas in a chain the probability is near 100%) and so almost insignificant.

(this is my interpretation of why BitLattice is not a chain, and what the benefits of that are, it may not be accurate)
