A communication protocol for speeding up in the rate at which blocks (and more importantly, the transactions inside them) can be considered final/irreversible (not subject to reversion in fork). This is the "secret" feature I've mentioned in the past :-)
Recent blocks in a chain can be reversed. So you can see them as an indication of what transactions will occur but can't rely on them (for example to perform a trade). Currently in Hive it takes about a minute for blocks to become final where the transactions can be relied up. @blocktrades is apparently working on a way to speed that up.

Aaaah I see :D Looking forward to it !
smart contracts?

ok. No idea what block finality protocol is :D

Very interesting.
Was there any problem in the past with that?
Not a problem. Would be an improvement.
hehe,
fix never a problem nobody has :D
But improvements are always nice. Have you an example for me of what could be done better?
I could imagine some more complex trades ( sandwich swaps) or something else that relies on each other.
But not sure I riding the right horse :d
