Apologies if I seemed a little obtuse earlier, always have to be critical of these newer ideas :) Thanks Jan, that makes sense.

If I want to send money to you there is no transaction. My bank deducts the amount, which has consequences for the interest paid. Your bank adds the money to your account which entitles you to more interest starting when the amount is credited. In between these two events days may pass. If my bank would lock my account waiting for your bank to do the crediting, financial life as we know it would come to a grinding halt. So, no transactions, just events with timestamps that allow banks to calculate balance and interest at any point in time.

Say for example you wanted to credit interest to both accounts after you withdraw a and before you credit b. There's possibility for an inconsistent read here. This is unacceptable when dealing with money. What happens if after you query for the sum of accounts a & b After a is withdrawn and before b is credited?
