Recently, people keep talking about data availability, ordering, finality, with a bunch of terms that just make my head spin… I’ll focus on one main thread: what you do on the chain, can it actually be “seen” by everyone, can someone cut in line and change the order, and will it suddenly crash and restart. Basically, it’s transparency, queuing, and finalization—don’t be scared off by the terminology.
By the way, looking at social mining and fan tokens, that “attention equals mining” approach, I have some doubts: attention is noisy, but that doesn’t mean it’s trustworthy. When things are lively, it’s easiest to confuse “being visible” with “being verified”… Anyway, I’ll wait until the emotions settle before acting; taking it slow is also fine.
