Description

Things I left out that I think would be nice to haves:

How is this system censorship resistant?
-briefly answered in TX fee section of 3.2
How is this system reversion resistant?
-briefly answered in end of 3.1
How does it function in an asynchronous environment
-Not really answered: Need to demonstrate an example of someone missing a bunch of blocks (e.g. going offline for some time). Then, upon receiving a new block and not having it's parent block, request the parent from peers. Can easily verify the new blocks and get back up to speed.

Research direction

Start by locating Chapter 3 and reviewing sections 3.1 and 3.2, where reversion resistance and transaction-fee censorship resistance are discussed. Add a concrete asynchronous example covering a participant missing blocks, requesting a missing parent from peers, verifying the received chain, and catching up; done means this case is clearly explained in the chapter.
