What Hacker News says
5 sourcesWe've been working on proof-of-stake and blockchain scaling/interoperability infrastructure since 2014. It all starts with a classical BFT algorithm which provides simple light-client proofs and fork-accountability. Your mobile phone can verify transaction finality in 5 seconds, with no need for an hour of block confirmations as in Bitcoin proof-of-work mining.

routing for Tendermint would be a great addition. And DNS/name-resolution on Tendermint can actually solve Zooko's triangle.
While we're at it, lets fork Go too. https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/e-lang/cQiXS_GnKS4/Zsk...

> While many of the technologies I'd use already exist, rebuilding the web around blockchains and onion routing would require a revolution in user interface design to have a chance; otherwise it will be a playground for the technology elite

Lots of people are using Tendermint. The biggest users would be Hyperledger Burrow (https://github.com/hyperledger/burrow) and our own Ethermint (https://github.com/tendermint/ethermint). We're also working on an SDK for building apps in Golang (github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk) but it won't be ready for another month or two. There are a variety of apps built by members of the community, and ABCI servers in different languages - you can see a somewhat up-to-date list here: https://tendermint.com/ecosystem
