That's exactly why I put it out; this is not "my" thing. I want people to shit test & improve it. 🤷♂️
Now that I've had a bit more time to simmer, the ELI5 TL;DR is:
"We take the whole database, separate all the individual components & hash them, then store each component in buckets."
This allows for a FAR smaller footprint for the whole Blockchain (so much that we can simply include ALL chains sharing the genesis block) & the historical data is retained & verifiable from the hash, (since the data in a block is immutable, so it's non-destructive & retroactive.
This also doesn't oppose forks in any way, it actually allows for them since they are a natural mechanism of the network anyway.
But it can allow individual branches to die while keeping the whole tree healthy.
Hope that helps. 🤙
