- socialist_coder 5y agoUnless the hackers control 50%+ of the mining?
- mimixco 5y agoIndeed! Our use of blockchain doesn't involve tokens or mining. Just a literal chain of hashes. Each hash is the hash of one edit or change made with the MSL language. If the chain is incorrect, your version of the document has elements in it which were not in the original and the exact point where they deviate can be determined. You can perform this work without having any access to the documents or the text itself.
- mimixco 5y agoThat's a good one! We're proposing it as an outside, second verification source that people can run independently, not as a big blockchain that we control. I know the whole area is tenuous!
