Back to basics. Whether it is your golf swing, or a business situation, Paris says that “when things start falling apart, go back to the fundamentals. The natural instinct for someone who is in trouble in golf, and most other stressful situations, is to press harder. Although this instinct is natural, it is also very wrong.” The result, he says, is a “death spiral” on the course or in the boardroom. “When you feel yourself in the death spiral, it’s time to get back to basics—slow your game down, use more conservative clubs and tactics and have your developed mind take over from your primal instincts,” Paris adds. “Slow down and step back. Observe and assess the situation and then re-engage. In business, if you find that you are digging yourself into a hole, the first thing you need to do is stop digging.” Paris says writing the blog was an enlightening experience as he uncovered more and more parallels between golf and business. He also discovered that “all of my business experiences haven’t helped my golf game as much as golf has helped my business experiences.” All the more reason you should be playing more golf, right?

Back to basics. ‌ While modern Blockchains such as Ethereum [5], Bitcoin [1], Corda [54], have their roots in traditional state machine replication [22], the intricacies of each of their protocols lead them to pay no importance to their foundation. However, we believe that there are significant lessons from state machine replication that can and should be applied to these Blockchain systems. In fact, we believe that significant improve- ments in performance will only be achieved by re-examining the system architecture in the view of state machine replication, independently of the details of each of the protocols. These modern Blockchains monolithic system architectures, as well as early Byzantine fault-tolerant state machine replication systems [26, 55] intertwine consensus and application execution into a sin- gle interdependent blob. While multiple BFT xxxxxxxxxx [00, 55–59] demonstrated that BFT consensus protocols could process tens of thousands of requests per second, these systems were in fact only considering trivial (e.g., no-op) requests [53, 60, 61]. Fortunately, there is a ready-made architectural solution to these systems: separate agreement from execution [23, 53, 61]. Under a separated architecture, one cluster of nodes provides an ordering ser- vice [62] with a shared log [39, 42], while one or more additional clusters independently execute the commands stored in that log [42, 61, 63]. Furthermore, this principle has already been applied to real- world, industry-ready systems: as we previously surveyed, Facebook successfully uses this architectural strategy to improve both performance and maintenance characteristics of their primary log processing system [42]. Now is the time to apply the same principles to Blockchains. In the following sections, we will describe a novel architecture that applies these well-established principles, and demonstrate their viability in the current Blockchain panorama.

  • Finance Charges A finance charge is the cost you pay for credit. We will charge Interest Charges and Fees to your account as described to you in your statements and other Truth in Lending Disclosures. The fol- lowing describes how the finance charge will be calculated on the M-124281 Account. You have a 25-day grace (no finance charge) period on your pur- chase balance and for new purchases if you paid the entire New Balance on your last statement by the end of the grace period. You also have a 25-day grace period for new purchases if you did not have a balance on your last statement. The grace period starts on the billing cycle closing date. If you do not pay the entire New Balance by the end of the grace period, a finance charge will be imposed on the unpaid balance from the first day of the next billing cycle and on new purchases from the date they are posted to your Account. There is no grace period for cash advances. A finance charge will be imposed on cash advances from the date the cash advance is posted to your Account. Balance transfers as permit- xxx by Credit Union from time to time in Credit Union’s sole discre- tion will be treated as cash advances for the purpose of all finance charges and finance charge calculations. Finance charges on your Account are calculated by applying the applicable Monthly Periodic Rate to the average daily balances for purchases and cash advances. Separate average daily balances are calculated for purchases and cash advances. To get each av- erage daily balance, the daily balances for purchases and cash advances for the billing cycle are added and the totals are divided by the number of days in the cycle. To get the daily balance for cash advances, new cash advances are added to the day’s begin- ning balance and payments and credits are subtracted. To get the daily balance for purchases, new purchases are added to the day’s beginning balance and payments and credits are subtracted; how- ever, new purchases are not added if you paid the entire New Bal- ance on your last statement by the end of the grace period or if you did not have a balance on your last statement. Fees and unpaid finance charges are not included in the calculation of the average daily balance. Finance charges will continue to accrue on your Ac- count until what you owe under this Agreement is paid in full. Credit Union may offer balance transfer, introductory rate, or other special rate promotions for your Account from time to time in Credit Union’s sole discretion. The applicable Monthly Periodic Rate and ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE for any promotion and any promo- tion terms and conditions will be disclosed to before or at the time you make use of such promotion.
