You're digging too deep into things. The technicalities of what a blockchain are fundamentally semantical. Most people when referencing "the blockchain" are also implying the portion relating decentralized trustless consensus. So the "simplest possible blockchain" would also require that component.
- fergazen 9y agoIn every post i've made it has been crystal clear I'm referring to "blockchain the data-structure"... The "consensus component" is an algorithm for detecting if one blockchain disagrees with other blockchains, and ignoreing it if it does. https://youtu.be/_160oMzblY8?t=5m5s https://youtu.be/_160oMzblY8?t=5m5s
