grumbling, academic
Getting increasingly annoyed by this paper on Matrix state resolution, which makes constant references to weird blockchain concepts, and I'm beginning to wonder whether that was just some nonsense to get the research funded

Like for example, it's *extremely weird* to classify a Matrix room history as a "Transaction-based DAG" despite not involving any transactions whatsoever, just because it kinda sorta looks like a thing you've seen in blockchain stuff

@theotheroracle This isn't from any Matrix core folks though, it's that third-party analysis of stateres correctness

@joepie91 oh weird

Ledger this, ledger that, the protocol doesn't even have anything resembling ownership!
