      1. Reviewing another Blockchain paper right now (again, as the non-Blockchain-expert reviewer, having said so clearly in my full disclosure ;-) ) and wondering if many of them have an implicit relaxed (eventual-C) CAP assumption and simply wishing that 51% attacks don't exist...

      And to be clear: I am sure that there are some very good uses for Blockchains (as long as we can avoid PoW), it's just that I don't (yet?) understand them for pretty much all the papers I get to review. Maybe just bad luck.

    Re-reading parts of the paper makes me believe that it may actually consider 51% attacks, but that I might simply be incapable of concurrently keeping all the assumptions for its security arguments in my head.
