I would love to see a balanced discussion of pros and cons of the unusual lattice design used by raiblocks.

I often find myself judging cryptocurrency whitepapers by the number and breath of citations. Has the author's read previous attack papers and developed appropriate countermeasures. How does it compare to other schemes? Are the authors aware of the definitions and methods used in distributed systems?

However this approach should be tempered by the fact that the Bitcoin whitepaper would score poorly on this metric.

BTC was also closer to the ground floor of this research, you wouldn't expect it to be able to cite too many papers in similar subjects.

I would too, but this is the Cryptocurrency space; When has anything ever been balanced?

Bitcoin was pretty balanced in the beginning, then money took over. Lets hope we can one day disentangle the technology from its potential for speculation.
