- wmf 10y agoThe blockchain has either proof of work or some signatures attached to it. While git requires you to resolve conflicts manually, a blockchain can resolve them automatically.
- asperous 10y agoIt doesn't 'resolve' them.. it just picks one based on some rules and probability
- kobeya 10y agoYes, that is also a blockchain.
- grubles 10y agoThere is no central repo that transactions are sent to, and that everyone pulls from.
- kobeya 10y agoThere isn't a central blockchain either.
