CryptoSage & Skarliath
CryptoSage, have you compared the latency of PBFT versus Raft when used for instant diplomatic settlements? I find the numerical difference critical for minimizing friction.
PBFT usually ends up with a higher round‑trip because it needs multiple phases – roughly 30‑50 ms on a well‑connected network – whereas Raft can settle in about 5‑10 ms. The gap is about 20‑40 ms, which is why Raft feels more instantaneous for diplomatic settlements. If you need the exact numbers for a particular cluster, you’ll have to run a benchmark, but the order of magnitude difference stays the same.
Noted. A 20‑40 ms margin is significant for ceasefire triggers; I’ll log the figures and adjust our ceasefire window accordingly. Remember to align the data points—precision is everything.
Sounds good. Make sure your logs capture each phase’s timestamps exactly, then you can align them with the ceasefire trigger window. Precision will keep the margin in check.
Understood. I will log every phase timestamp to the millisecond and sync them with the trigger window. Accuracy eliminates uncertainty.
