Yes, you need something against tampering. However, once you legally signed something, the contract/transaction is valid.
Various mechanism can be used to ensure integrity. What we implemented specifically is that various witnesses can inspect your Trustchain blocks and co-sign your balance. So any node can act as a digital notary. You can also use a reputation or trust function.
Here is a master thesis from Mathematics on distributed accounting systems. It contains numerous new mathematical proofs around integrity without strong identity assumption; .PDF "On the Sybil-Proofness of Accounting Mechanisms in P2P Networks", https://repository.tudelft.nl/islandora/object/uuid:6b4011c6-1668-4a1c-a49e-f86d226063b1 https://repository.tudelft.nl/islandora/object/uuid:6b4011c6...
- bluesign 6y agoProblem is you cannot have offline and privacy (or better anonymity) at the same time. Reputation and trust can be gamed. Also requiring reputation will slow down adaptation. I will read this paper in the evening but I don't think you can have Sybil-Proof Accounting on P2P without some tradeoffs.
