You're right. Thx btw for drawing attention to the paper.. I missed it on the HN thread. Wonder what Martin's connection is to BS.
I am as suspicious as most people wrt their commercial strategy and biz models, esp. given their VC funding.
So am speculating a bit around that, plus noticing stuff that may give them an advantage in uptake wrt other protocols esp. the fedi. Less focused on the technical nitty gritty.
Imagining a careful dance and rollout and decentralized biz experiment.

Oh, btw just see that there's another HN discussion, this one related to the paper directly: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39275203
