No, because blockchain is not a consensus protocol.
- sadgit 9y agoBlockchain does imply a consensus protocol, though. Thats what the block is for.
- dozzie 9y agoNo, very much not. There is no such thing as consensus in blockchain. Can you (you in particular) even define the term "consensus"? Can you explain how does your definition relate to what is commonly used in computer science and how it works with the impossibility proofs?
