What does it mean for an operating system to run on the blockchain?
- spynxic 9y agoOperating System: - the software that supports a computer's basic functions, such as scheduling tasks, executing applications, and controlling peripherals. Blockchain: - A decentralized and distributed digital ledger that is used to record transactions across many computers so that the record cannot be altered retroactively without the alteration of all subsequent blocks and the collusion of the network.
- brucephillips 9y agoIs this supposed to answer my question?
- spynxic 9y agoNo, just preface into their intended functions. Edit: One might question what the ledger tracks in terms of operating toward user needs as opposed to financial activity.
- arghwhat 9y agoNothing. It is an impossible construct. The blockchain is a (very limited) distributed immutable storage system. It cannot run anything, and participating in a blockchain requires a minimal operating system to be present (storage/network/process management).
