The concept of the project looks good. But how MARLIN PROTOCOL works ? What is our assurance if we will adopt this kind of platform.?

The methodologies listed are all available today, but no one has added them into a universal protocol set. By having them as part of a decentralized relay framework, you can make them all available as modules with unlimited scalability and fault-tolerant uptime

The most important thing is to understand what a big affect this has on other blockchains. The network layer will always be a bottleneck for scalability and through-put if there aren't solutions like the marlin protocol available.

Few people actually understand that finality is more than just a consensus algorithm....

Very informative. What will be the approach of this start-up about blockchain? Will you create new blockchain or adopt any existing blockchain?

What the Marlin Protocol is talking about offering seems huge and the project on first basis looks very much promising. If the project delivers on their idea could be a very big things as it can give an ordinary individual the ability host his/her local storage facility using this tech among other things. It'll take time until we can fully understand and see what this project will offer in the end.

This looks interesting. I hope this project works out for the good. Thanks for the heads up. Will be keeping an eye on it. Hope to hear more about Marlin Protocol.

May i ask what's the motivation of the core dev from Zilliqa to making his own coin? Roll Eyes

Kinda interesting though

IDENA.IO - Proof-Of-Person Blockchain

I think the concept of P2P data transfer is nothing short of revolutionary. It makes sense, there are others who are working with this kind of concept but the ones who first perfected this will have the first mover advantage in this kind of tech. No more centralized data storage and even an ordinary individual can host his/her local storage facility using this tech. And with that interest in mind, I am really eyeing this tech.

Interesting tech, keeping an eye on this.

There is a new project that has some pretty big hitters on its team and they are building a new protocol to replace the current standard "Gossip Protocol"

marlin.pro

The system will be using a plethora of new networking solutions to create on-demand custom overlay networks. These include packets being forwarded even before they are received in entirety (cut-through switching), routing over low-latency multicast trees (to replace the epidemic flooding/gossip), randomized path selection before the diffusion process (a modified stemming+diffusion approach common in systems like Dandelion - for lightweight anonymity), ttransport layer improvements to improve over TCP head-of-line blocking and congestion control, and many more

This will be the project we hear a lot about in 2019 and few non-engineering people will really understand what it does.

A core dev from Zilliqa is heading it up. The project won a competition at Stanford earlier this year. With its mixed team from MIT, Stanford, IIT Mumbai with support and advise from City of Zion and other world class Research labs, the project is built for success.

Edit: There is now an official ANN discussion here
