TL;DR: This paper has identified and discussed parameters related to performance and security of consensus in blockchain, and analyzed and compared the available consensus algorithms with respect to these parameters.
Abstract: Blockchain is a distributed ledger that gained a prevalent attention in many areas. Many industries have started to implement blockchain solutions for their application and services. It is important to know the key components, functional characteristics, and architecture of blockchain to understand its impact and applicability to various applications. The most well-known use case of blockchain is bitcoin: a cryptocurrency. Being a distributed ledger, consensus mechanism is needed among peer nodes of a blockchain network to ensure its proper working. Many consensus algorithms have been proposed in literature each having its own performance and security characteristics. One consensus algorithm cannot serve the requirements of every application. It is vital to technically compare the available consensus algorithms to highlight their strengths, weaknesses, and use cases. We have identified and discussed parameters related to performance and security of consensus in blockchain. The consensus algorithms are analyzed and compared with respect to these parameters. Research gap regarding designing an efficient consensus algorithm and evaluating existing algorithms is presented. This paper will act as a guide for developers and researchers to evaluate and design a consensus algorithm.

TL;DR: A comparative analysis of most popular DAG based blockchain architectures including Nxt, IOTA, Orumesh, Dag coin, DagCoin, Byteball, Nano and XDAG to outline the best of all worlds DAG-based blockchain architecture.
Abstract: Blockchain is a shared distributed ledger that promises tamper-proof secure transactions over the highly available and resilient network involving multiple participants. Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) has revolutionized the blockchain technology. Owing to its optimized validation mechanism, high scalability, efficient provenance, support for IoT and multiparty involvement, DAG is rapidly over-shadowing traditional blockchain architecture. In this paper, we present a comparative analysis of most popular DAG based blockchain architectures including Nxt, IOTA, Orumesh, DagCoin,Byteball, Nano and XDAG. The comparison is based on the functional data structures for maintaining the ledger, consensus algorithms, transaction validation, ledger size, scalability and popularity. Extracting the best features various DAG based blockchains, we move on to outline the best of all worlds DAG-based blockchain architecture.

TL;DR: Apeer-production movement, the hackerspace movement, its members and values, and a theoretical description of hacker generations as a larger context in which peer-production can be located are described.
Abstract: This paper describes a peer-production movement, the hackerspace movement, its members and values The emergence of hackerspaces, fablabs and makerspaces is changing how hacker communities and other like-minded communities function Thus, an understanding of the nature of hackerspaces helps in detailing the features of contemporary peer-production Building on previous work on ’fabbing’, two different sets of results are presented: (1) empirical observations from a longitudinal study of hackerspace participants; and (2) a theoretical description of hacker generations as a larger context in which peer-production can be located With regard to (1), research data has been collected through prolonged observation of hackerspace communities and two surveys
