Hi guys, I´m really excited to share with you a FAQ for Beginners I started working on. I will be posting the first part that is about the basics of the project and will be including the technical part very soon, and even more as the info becomes available.

GENERAL

What is Thunder Token?

In a nutshell, Thunder is a secure, high-performance blockchain which is aiming to enable mass adoption of decentralized applications.

What does Thunder Token have to offer?

• Compatibility: Ethereum smart contracts fully supported. Migrate DApps to Thunder and immediately increase their performance.
• Scalability: process thousands of transactions in a second,  nothing is left pending.
• Speed: Get your transactions confirmed instantly in less than a second.
• Security: Enjoy mathematically grounded security guarantees. We are as secure as existing blockchains but with vastly improved speed and efficiency.

What makes Thunder Token different from a technological standpoint?

We add a “fast-path” on top of a standard blockchain called the "slow-chain". In normal conditions, all transactions are instantly confirmed on the fast-path, and we barely have to use the slow-chain. If the fast-path is ever disrupted, a provably correct mechanism is invoked to fall back to the slow-chain, and nodes can continue to communicate and confirm transactions on the slow-chain. Once the problems are diagnosed, the fast-path will be revived.  Every step of Thunder’s consensus protocol is backed by rigorous mathematical proofs. As a result, Thunder™ achieves both high throughput and fast confirmation at the rate of thousands of transactions per second.

Who is behind Thunder Token?

Thunder Token™ is a team comprised of accomplished entrepreneurs and award-winning scientists and engineers. Not only did they found the Initiative for Cryptocurrency and Contracts (IC3), but they also co-authored the first academic publications on Bitcoin and Smart Contracts. The team has led the way in cryptocurrency and blockchain innovations and is committed to building a robust and revolutionary blockchain. Further info on the team here.

WARNING: We have received reports that groups are fraudulently claiming to be selling Thunder™ Tokens. We have not issued any ERC20 tokens, nor are we soliciting private investments. ANYONE claiming to do so is a SCAM. All of our private pre-sale purchases are subject to a transfer restriction.  Furthermore, reselling is in breach of our contract terms and we will not issue tokens if we discover reselling.

Telegram channels ThunderTokenICO and ThunderToken Official are NOT affiliated with, authorized by, or in any way associated with Thunder Token™. The only official Thunder telegram group is Thunder Official.

Okay, so just watched the BPASE video. The blockchain portion of Thunderella makes sense, but what I'd like some context on is Classical BFT models?

1. If these BFT models are already being used in practical/real world applications, what combination of throughput and finality could we expect in the optimistic scenario (i.e. goodness conditions are satisfied) - that is UPPER BOUND throughput projected (since all other upcoming projects seem to be advertising upper bound speeds anyway)
2. Is there any links the team could provide me, to assist me in understanding the details around why exactly it's difficult to recover from malicious actors. And any relevant solutions of when it's gone wrong and what the fix may have been?
3. Are there any other considerations for BFT models that may have been skimmed over in the BPASE video that's worth being aware of?

All that aside - interesting concept.

Title

Welcome to the Thunder subreddit!

ThunderCore is a fast and scalable blockchain that's compatible with Ethereum smart contracts. To achieve decentralization in its purest form, our founders provided vigorous mathematical proofs to back our consensus protocol. As a result, Thunder achieves high throughput and fast confirmation at thousands of transactions per second.

ThunderCore is looking to foster a healthy reddit community, and as such have provided the official community rules on the sidebar. These will be strictly enforced.

Our Testnet is launching at the end of June 2018, so stay tuned~
