- yokem55 4y agoThe challenge is that if a discrepency is shown, how do you know who is lying? The whistleblowers or the CT log vendor? A consensus mechanism built on top of the log would be able to show the 'history of the history' to enable folks to make better determinations on who to trust or not.
