Tim Swanson is a contributor at coindesk. I wonder if he ever wrote an article on DPOS for coindesk.

I interviewed with him recently.

Makes me appreciate DPOS even more:

 +5% Bitcoin is toast for this and many other reasons.

The sooner we forge our own path and stop trying to pander to and scoop up crumbs in their shadow the better. Bitcoin is about as decentralised as a brick.

Interesting discussion. Tim mentions how DPoS can be a better consensus model than PoW for most application because of centralization.

I happened to listen to the podcast of this today.

If you go back a little bit earlier in the video (http://youtu.be/zF2YwOnH-CA?t=21m16s) he states that DPOS is more distributed than Bitcoin.

I bet Tim is a bitshareholder.. I wonder if he's here under a pseudonym.
