...The library works completely client-side and offline in supported browser use cases. It is tested across old browsers, modern browsers, Web Workers, iframes, and Node.js. It also includes leader election over channels, which helps multiple contexts decide which one should perform a shared task. It is useful for multi-tab synchronization, offline-first applications, shared state coordination, and browser apps that need to avoid duplicated background work.

...In the current version, mining nodes that are elected but fail to report their base compute will get blacklisted and lose all rewards for that round. The new patch will raise the penalty for backlisted mining nodes. If blacklisted, your node is also unable to become a candidate mining Masternode for the next election cycle. Difficulty level drops when a new validation leader is elected. If there is a new validation leader in one mining cycle (the time for generating 3 blocks), this mining cycle will take longer to finish, and difficulty for mining the following block will lower down. (The validators take turns to generate blocks, and a validator which has generated a block is considered the validation leader of that block.) ...

...While there is unlimited space in the system overall, the space around any specific text is limited by 3d space, which drives competition for what people want that text to be associated with. It can be used like a forum or chatroom to associate text with responses, or to associate election candidates names with their positions on the issues, or to associate your website URL with things. Many possible uses, and a global competition for what gets associated to what else. In this peer to peer network, pairs of short text are communicated based on highest "proof of work" (see Bitcoin's design doc) on each pair, so the pairs of text that the most time is spent toward associating will spread through the network.

JMS/Joram implementation of the Bully election algorithm. It is a library to be used by a process' implementation to make it transparently manage coordinator's elections, while it carries out business logic. A sample application is included.
