The merkle tree part is fairly simple, agreed.
The decentralized consensus part is anything but.
- trutannus 5y agoThe algorithm behind it is complex, but for any technical administrator or technical developer, they will never come in contact with it. Based on that, for 99% of people who are not developing blockchains from scratch, but using something like Hyperledger Burrow or another existing blockchain, it's not a visible complexity. One that can be summed up as "there's an algorithm under-the-hood which will ensure consensus, see the documentation appendix 1 to find out more".
