Hi! My name is Theodore Keloglou. Most of the time I'm working on a decentralised protocol for a new democratic internet. We publish some of this work on GitHub.
pod
pod is a blockchain that is not a chain and has no blocks. That's why I prefer to refer to it as a decentralised system. But that's just me. Another way to explain pod is: a service that receives unordered transactions submitted into a mempool that get ordered into a partially ordered log. Here's a paper.

In the beginner’s mind there is no thought, “I have attained something.” All self-centered thoughts limit our vast mind. When we have no thought of achievement, no thought of self, we are true beginners. Then we can really learn something.
I like making things for the public domain that belong to the world.
