Really great article here. Thanks jpgr. Nice explanation of VITALS.
Good to see that the community is still very much interested in XBY. Been a very busy couple weeks. I very much like the analogy used in the article.
Given this analogy, its easy to see how VITALS facilitates transaction verifications. While PULSE may be akin Instant Messenger, its the VITALS network that actually does the heavy lifting. Nonetheless, VITALS may remain the least understood/appreciated aspect of XTRABYTES new platform.
