It's a kademlia based app, this shit was around in the 90s. I'd argue the biggest breakthrough was the Turing machine but sure the consensus math is interesting.

Did i miss something? I didnt think bitcoin used kademlia.

I would consider kademlia (or overlay networks in general) a bigger breakthrough though.

Kademlia had no consensus mechanism.

Witty, but that's not peer to peer computing.
