This links to the Praos paper. Ouroboros Praos =/= Ouroboros-BFT.

New to ADA POS questions

So I have been investing in crypto for little more then a year and recently learnt a very small amount of this POS process and have been very interested in it. I started off by investing in NEO and DASH and came across ADA and bought a small portion of my portfolio hoping to get in on the ground floor of the next big POS coin. Now as someone who has only a beginners knowledge of how POS works. Is there any major differences in the way POS with ADA works as appose to say NEO/DASH? I understand t…

Wow man. That thread is great, but you keep on linking unrelated content.

I’m looking for the Ouroboros-BFT paper. If you’re unsure what I’m talking about, check out Charles’s tweet I’ve linked.

Ah! I see it now - my bad.

I thought I read about BFT being discussed but did not see the tweet at the link you included.

I can’t find it, perhaps it’s not published yet.

Charles has been boasting about a new Ouroboros paper on twitter which he claims adds finality:

I’ve heard Charles mention finality in passing in one of his videos and and the whole exchange with Vitalik Buterin, but I haven’t dived into it. Could you go over why finality is important? and why people care?

P.S or maybe just point me to a link and I could read up on it.

Much appreciated!

Finality is important because PoS has no time factor and blocks can be forged without effort. And because PoS can have better finality than PoW, if done right.

This is the gist of it, if you want to get into the nitty-gritty, I can recommend looking up the communication between Charles and Vitalik (Twitter, Reddit) and reading around here on the forum.

It’s cool, I’ll look into it. I’m still a little fuzzy on it.

In Charles’ latest video update (released last week) he does mention this paper and says that its soon to be released.

IOHK has recently an internal paper that will be released soon on a Byzantine Fault Tolerant protocol that was inspired by and complementary to Ouroboros.

Taken from the summary of his video update, which you can find here: 07.09.2018 - Charles Hoskinson Video Update - #4 by maki.mukai
And as soon as its published, I’m sure IOHK will share it across their social channels or you can check back onto the IOHK Papers page which was linked above by canopus.
