@pixelatedfist @Wayne_Murillo what would you use a DAG for that an alternate technical solution wouldn't be superior?

Tamper-evidencing as an example. There are a myriad of ways to achieve tamper-evidencing. Backups, for example, serve the dual purpose of redundancy and tamper-evidencing. Their dual purpose nature, and overall simplicity, make backups a superior option to an append only linked list for tamper evidencing.

Distributed systems as another. Mastadon (activitypub) is a good example of an eventually consistent, distributed, and redundant system for recording and sharing time sequenced data.
