EOS: Explanation of DPoS+BFT w/ Daniel Larimer - Part 1 of 2

Daniel Larimer, CTO of block.one, took time to whiteboard DPOS for EOS Go to share with the community - as Dan called it, "possibly the first time I've ever explained DPOS on video".


EDIT - part 2 of this video is now available! Dan goes more in depth to explain the new BFT addition to DPOS for EOS to achieve irreversible confirmations in 2 seconds or less. He also compares the new EOS implementation with other BFT algorithms.


YouTube Description:

Daniel Larimer, CTO of BlockOne explains DPoS in Bitshares, Steemit, and EOS.

This is part one of a two part DPOS/BFT instructional video.

In part two Dan will go more in depth to describe BFT and how blocks in EOS will achieve 99.9% finality in 0.5 seconds, with absolute finality every 2 seconds or better.

This will allow dapps to provide a seamless user experience, a key step in bringing blockchain adoption to a wider audience.
