Lately, I've been pondering the words "data availability / ordering / finality," and the more I think about them, the more they seem to explain a very simple thing: whether the transaction you see can also be seen by others (don't hide the data); whether everyone records in the same order (don't write separately); whether this page of the ledger will be torn and rewritten (don't calculate now and then ignore it). Focusing on this main thread, the terms don't seem so intimidating anymore.



By the way, it made me think of the current social mining, fan tokens, and that set of "attention as mining"... Basically, it's about shifting the ordering authority from the chain to the feed: who gets seen, who gets forwarded, inherently carrying some "ordering." What makes me a bit discouraged is that attention can be easily faked or manipulated; but what gives me some hope is that, at least, the finality on the chain is pretty solid, and what actually happened can still be reconciled. Anyway, I’ll keep researching and studying hard—if I get it wrong, please go easy on me when you criticize.
