I'm still studying this, but I'm curious to hear a few more opinions related to Hashgraph.

Nick Johnson from Ethereum said: Based on a quick skim, it's pretty interesting. The system seems well thought out, and at first glance, sound. The main issue I see is that the number of full nodes that can participate is limited: adding a new full node requires every full node to do more work, so it doesn't scale to large numbers of nodes. How much that matters depends on whether you could build a light-client type system around it.
Bitcoin mining is now a specialized and very risky industry, just like gold mining. Amateur miners are unlikely to make much money, and may even lose money. Bitcoin is much more than just mining, though!

I think this is basically spot on... at first glance, it does seem like a solid well thought-out projects. What remains to be seen is practical implementation. I'm certainly keeping a close eye on this and I'm excited to see what they bring to the table when they have a working model in place for people to test.
