Could you provide some pointers to resources that explain clearly how Solana's consensus protocol and its Proof of History work? I read the whitepaper, watched a couple of videos but still find it unclear. As some other people said, it is not different from Bitcoin's mechanism with difficulty of zero.

I have found these two to be useful:

> https://www.shinobi-systems.com/primer.html

(I know I know it's an hour long, but honestly watching 3 geeks having a good natured session contrasting their systems in real time is a joy)
