However, it is still not very well understood, and as such, its entire strength remains undervalued. While some researchers classify it as a Nakamoto consensus algorithm, some other researchers do not even … [Read more...] about Proof of Work Is a Stigmergic Consensus Algorithm: Unlocking Its Potential
