Polkadot and Cosmos are going to be surprised. This is the only interoperability project whose consensus is a varianf PoW.
God damn it, finally someone showing up here !!! hurray 
Glad to see you CodonyatYeah, BC is for now the first interoperability without validators, gonna hit hard when everything is up and working. Expecting some hype coming through once borderless will be useable by non tech guys.
And soon mining will be possible and get rewards, for everyone wanting to.
