- This work was published at the top-tier distributed systems security conference and details how to scale crypto-currencies to the point of supporting transaction volumes sufficient to support a national currency. It received widespread media attention (MIT Tech review, etc). We have discussed the findings with the Bank of England (who reference the work in their July 2016 report), other central banks around the world. The design was implemented and marketed by the blockchain company IOHK.
