    1. Correct minersare cordial in that they wait for round r to attain a supermajority before contributing ablock to round r + 1.

      Uff, this gets vague. "Wait" as in "buffer received events"?

      But then how do these events get propagated, when everyone's buffering? I thought only events that are accepted into blocklace are propagated.

      What stops accepting events right away, and propagating them further? Defining rounds as Hashgraph does. Because this is basically the strive for the same end - a block gets r+1 round when it sees that supermajority sees supermajority.

      The thing with this algo is that the communication/dissemination between rounds seems to be hidden / not included in the DAG. What' the point in doing so?

      We have less information on our hands of what happened in the system, that may be of value.

      Also, by not including communication we miss the oportunity to add more ops when sending stuff to others.

      The holy grail caused the members of the round table to leave in search for it. The theme to of giving into your passions (see Excalibur) seems to recur.
