There's I guy called Ian Grigg who was involved in the early cypherpunks of the 90s ho is very knowledgeable about Ricardian contracts, which apparently are more expressive form of contract than smart contracts. Here is a podcast of his that the devs of Hashgraph might want to listen to. He's now working on the EOS blockchain project. https://soundcloud.com/epicenterbitcoin/eb-151

Millions of transactions per second on EOS.IO blockchain | Interview Ian Grigg of Block.One
The absolute best presentation at the CryptoFinancing Conference in London was by Ian Grigg of Hong Kong based Block.One about EOS.IO, a blockchain (like Ethereum) that can do 50.000 transactions per second. The technology they're using might even make it…

In this last video he talks about the use of messaging rather than state reach consensus in a system. It seems similar to gossip approach in a way. He has a paper called Financial Cryptography in 7 Layers. He says that many projects fail because they don't take into account all the various levels of knowledge needed for a successful decentralised system. Might be worth looking into also. http://iang.org/papers/fc7.html https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/3-540-45472-1_23

Financial Cryptography in 7 Layers
Financial Cryptography is substantially complex, requiring skills drawn from diverse and incompatible, or at least, unfriendly, disciplines. Caught between Central Banking and Cryptography, or between accountants and programmers, there is a grave danger that…

Before 2013 few people paid attention to Bitcoin and blockchain, yet even back in the 1990s a vibrant group of prioneers pursued the vision of financial cryptography and digital cash. One of these was financial cryptographer and software developer Ian Grigg, who today works as an architecture consultant for R3.
Grigg joined us for a discussion of the history of the digital cash, Bitcoin and his work on Ricardian Contracts, which foreshadowed today's smart contracts.
Topics covered included:
- The origin story of financial cryptography
- DigiCash and the startup scene around it in the 1990s
- Ricardian Contracts and why contracts are central to digital assets
- Ricardian Contracts vs blockchain Links mentioned in this episode:
- Ricardian Contract Paper http://bit.ly/2cOnQsU
- Financial Cryptography Website http://bit.ly/2dM4men
- Financial Cryptography in 7 Layers http://bit.ly/2d9GRXT
- R3CEV http://bit.ly/2dVJiRX
- Brown, Carlyle, Grigg & Hearn: Corda - An Introduction http://bit.ly/2dmtPLP

SATOSHI IS DEAD - LONG LIVE SATOSHI - TEAM LEADER COMES OUT
MAY 2, 2016
"Craig Wright has just outed himself as the leader of the Satoshi Nakamoto team.
I confirm that this is true, both from direct knowledge and a base of evidence
..., Craig credited the late Dave Kleiman as member of the team. I confirm Kleiman was a member of the team.".

"When I said that Craig was part of the team that was Satoshi Nakamoto - that statement sort of hung there and became an urban legend. You might recall that I made that statement in May of 2016, but within days, the events went out of control and it all collapsed".

Not to rag at RAH,
I'm just picking up his perfect foil, and for reasons he'll wryly smile to: Physics. Humanity. Frailty. Complexity. Of the sort that we've all being talking about since forever on this list and many others. Let's break it down. Firstly, we all on this list know that cryptographic keys prove that a private key did a maths transform that a public key can confirm. Full Stop.
What cryptographic proofs do not confirm is that a human said something meaningful to another human. Indeed, the more that the Bitcoin community and the tabloid press demand a proof-of-spend and examine the results they're given, the more it demonstrates how humans seem to be isolated by cryptography not joined. In theory, keys are mathware, humans are wetware and the two do not easily mix".
