> Bullshit. Hey, be nice. > Blockchain does not build distributed consensus, it's a totally different thing: document timestamping service. i think you missed the part where i said "I think this is because people mean different things when they talk about "blockchains"." If that's what you think it is, suit yourself. Not a fan of word-play game. > The only thing novel in document timestamping service called blockchain is that it doesn't need trusted third party. Yeah, that's what I said. Like you said, it IS novel.

Oh? So you say that they don't mean a cryptographically linked list of blocks, like Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blockchain https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blockchain) describes? Because that's exactly how timestamping works: unmodifiable list of documents, from which you can tell which document was issued earlier. Then what else do they mean?
