I’m having a super hard time figuring out how M0 prevents malicious double spend attempts without using a proof of stake mechanism. Votes are performed by those that transfer M0, the smart algorithms that govern it supposedly prevent vote manipulation via magic math. If he open sourced the code, we might be able to use his algorithms to help produce a completely non-volatile currency (stablized to real world value via free market mechanisms and supply and demand feedback mechanisms.). However, as it stands it is a failed proprietary project that didn’t get the startup economics right and will be forgotten except by the haunting dreams of its developer.
