We already know this technique works, it's how any asynchronous database replication is implemented.

I've read all of your content and I can see nothing even close to, for example, the Spanner or Amazon Dynamo paper which go through the operation details of how the systems work. Literally your articles are just a bunch of metaphors followed by hand waving. No operational details.

I don't know if you know you're selling snake oil or just don't understand what you're implementing, but even in this thread you've gotten plenty of feedback that how you describe what you're doing is not coherent, you might want to address that. Or not, I don't know, if you're selling like hot cakes then keep doing it.

It's fine to not understand things. Being condescending is a natural reaction to feeling challenged, I really do understand where you're coming from. It's not even your fault, really. Anyway, when you're ready, feel free to pick it up again, the material doesn't take things personally and neither do I.
Or I guess just not responding to any of the technical questions that have been brought to you. That's an option too.
