In retrospect, how do you rate your decision of switching form PoW (dagger-hashimoto ) to dPos?
Was it good? Or if you have to ability to travel in time you would choose stay with ethash?
Lisk is like ethereum v2, if you though Bitcoin was congested imagine what eth will be like. The dapp platform separates dapps from the main chain. This means we can scale nearly indefinitely. Ethereum has many problems as well.

yes as I said we reached out to them.
here are some much older articles
Birman, Kenneth; Thomas Joseph (1987). "Exploiting virtual synchrony in distributed systems"http://portal.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=37515&dl=ACM&coll=GUIDE
Schneider, Fred (1990). "Implementing Fault-Tolerant Services Using the State Machine Approach: A Tutorial"http://ecommons.library.cornell.edu/bitstream/1813/6640/2/86-800.ps

this is the newer one you requested a link to. Scalable and leaderless Byzantine consensus in cloud computing environments https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10796-013-9460-7

Update:

We reached out to swirlds about a week and a half ago about licensing their patent. They said that they would not license a cryptocurrency because they are planning to release their own closed source cryptocurrency someday. So over the past week and a half we have been looking into patents, other implementations and talking to several lawyers. In the meantime we took down our whitepaper, and moved several things to different locations. Instead of using the Hashgraph algorithm by Swirlds Inc., we will be making our own consensus algorithm using leaderless state machine replication. It will have similar performance to a hashgraph but it will be completely unique. Once we publish our new whitepaper it will explain how our algorithm works. Although this is a slight setback since we had reached Alpha stage using the hashgraph algorithm, it shouldn't take to long to write our own and provide proofs that it works. Development on our new consensus implementation starts yesterday Smiley.

Thank you guys for your support!

We will not be using PoW, it will be much more efficient than iota, and also a iota node must be high powered as well, Prisma will run on your smart phone or the first rasberry pi with ease.

I would like to reserve Urdu translation for this project. Pm me if I get approvals.
You got it, that would be great!
Looking forward for the bounty thread. If you need Portuguese translation PM. Thanks
Yes, Portuguese is yours thank you!

Exp and shift are very much different shift was made for decentralized internet, the dev team is not scammers, they are/have been in active development, it is not copy and paste they have changed geth to gshift, gshift is comprised of ways to interact with phantom (decentralized internet) and store the dns on the blockchain. it was not made to be just a coin, as you compare to scrypt based and expanse there are i think several ways shift is very different(those were made to be coins and be the same as all other cryptos). I suggest before you just think that it is the same you take a second from your day and look. You'll see the differences.

this is not mearly copy and paste, the point of shift is to make a stable completly decentralized internet, sure maybe you just talk out your ass and its so far from your brain that it just spats shit out. The point of shift has never been just to make a coin. If it was Im sure they would have made a new algo. we need hashes to get the exchanges opened again. If you can help, im all for it, but why would you say something like that without even figuring out the purpose? do you know how to google? I can post instructions for you!

I'm not sure if anyone heard about the recent events, Shift and Krypton suffered 51% hash attacks. This was fairly easy due to the low hashrate. I'm here to ask for some extra hash. Shift team had nearly completed phantom, which is a completely decentralized internet. The dns itself is stored on the chain. The team themselves is dedicated until the end of development, and has had setbacks unrelated to being really awesome at coding things. The team decided the best move for shift is to move to DPos lisk based code this transition will take approximately 1.5 months. To get the exchanges back up they will settle for no less than 20 gh/s this will be the last chance to use graphics cards on shift. So what I am asking for is you have any extra hashing power please point it to shift for the month and a half it will take to code to lisk. shiftnrg.org has a invite to shift slack, if you have any question they should be answered fairly quickly there. The chain is still going strong and the coins the attacker created have been negated with out the blockchain rolling back.
