#22Nice! I found Hashgraph very interesting, but their patent stance made it a no-go for any serious DLT project. Glad that there is now a similar project without the attached patent! Let's just hope that it's not so similar that it falls under the original one. Still need to dig deeper into it, and would love to hear other peoples' evaluations, but at a first glance, PARSEC could actually be a serious player in the DLT…
Boom! Nailed it. As much as I love the hashgraph tech, it is not pure both with respect to the patent AND the few dozen 'overseers' (or whatever they will be called) that they will have in place. They really need to have an opensource concept. I warned the Swirlds team that their tech will be knocked off--patent or no patent--so they better get big dominance fast!!
