Not at all - it's a verifiable audit log. Git is an example of exactly this.
- yashg 4y agoGit is not a blockchain. An audit log doesn't need to be blockchain. The whole point of blockchain is that is is decentralized, trust-less and permission-less. You take it away and what is left?
- FabHK 4y agoThat is largely an issue of nomenclature, but there is a school of thought that distinguishes between public, open, trust-less blockchains (which then need a consensus mechanism), and private, permissioned blockchains (which have a central authority and thus don't need a consensus mechanism). Whether the latter has many use cases is a good question, but git certainly fits the definition.
