Snowball to Snowstorm

In brief"Snowball to Snowstorm": A Forum Post Sharing a Paper on Mempool Soft-Agreement Protocols

SummaryA community member on Delving Bitcoin shares a paper describing a protocol that reaches soft agreement on mempool transactions before a block is found.

The post says the goal is significantly faster block propagation and better machine utilization.
