Fascinating read! I'm looking forward to check out how Hashgraph streamlines the process compared to the classic blockchain. I've only worked with Ethereum and building DApps on their ecosystem, so this will be a breath of fresh air!

Just curious, did you happen to implement any smart contract functionalities as part of this implementation? I'd be super interested to learn about the ease of integrating Hashgraph with solidity for user access controls or alike.

dappdev, the author is using Swirlds SDK, which does not support Solidity, meaning that he/she had to develop a custom solution. The comments in the post show how one contributor created a port using Solidity though!

From my point of view, this significant progress made on layers outside the mainchain could spur a new wave of DApp development efforts. Really fantastic project! I'd personally love to see more features that help negate spam or potential brigading in forums like these.

Of course, I love the idea of ditching PoW in general as that massively decreases the scalability issues we face today with mining, and we probably continue to face in the future as well. An alternative like Hashgraph without proof of work really sparks my interest.

What about Ripple though? It's been out for a while, exploring a somewhat similar approach. Or am I missing essential differences between Ripple and Hashgraph?

For those who don't remember or know, Ripple holds a significant portion of the currency (XRP), currently centralizing its economy. This might not be the greatest comparison, but thanks for bringing it up as I feel enlightening new developers about both possibilities like Ripple and Hashgraph can help broaden their perspectives.

That's a great contribution that could certainly add value to existing blockchains. My concern is purely around the accessibility of such technology to the general public, considering the decision to not pursue an official open source approach.

As stated in the article, the licensing approach is being reviewed. Perhaps this will change, allowing for more community involvement.

Congrats on a successful project! Do you think there would ever be an opportunity to implement a content moderation system, one that's run in a decentralized manner (similar to what's described in the article)? I appreciate the due process described, but the looming potential of a celeb asking for content removal concerns me.
