Add Hathor PhD Thesis

[msbrogli]

Hathor's latest white-paper has more details about the consensus protocol, transaction propagation, difficulty adjustment, etc. Which one do you think I should include? The original PhD thesis or the latest white-paper?

Thanks for your contribution! Yes, it's better to link to the whitepaper, or even better to some published relevant work if available.

Ok. I just updated the link to our whitepaper. It is based on my PhD thesis which was submitted to and approved by a PhD thesis committee.

Interesting idea. There's a number of typos in the writeup. Separate figures with the various protocols (especially the consensus protocol) and a formal definition and analysis of the desired/provided security properties of the construction would be of great use.

@OrfeasLitos Thanks for the suggestions. I'll review the typos and make a complete reorganization of the whitepaper. I'll publish the new version in the same URL as the current one.
