I think they're 2 different things though, Emin is building a new coin from the ground up just using Avalanche, Chris is using avalanche for preconsensus on bch
I just saw your video interviewing Chris Pacia.
Now I get it. Thank you!
For BCH, it is an add-on pre-consensus method on top of existing PoW algorithm.
AVA instead uses it as a consensus method, as opposed to Nakamoto's, coupled with PoS algorithm.
