Ahhh, this old trope. Fork it - trivial to do when you have consensus.
- sebastiennight 3mo agoI don't even understand what an "unmodifiable blockchain" held by a single private entity could mean. They - have the data of yesterday - have backups of the data of yesterday - are going to write today's data on top of it to continue the chain (insert magic here) - somehow we are super sure, tomorrow, that today's data has not been tampered with If somebody can shine some light on the magic part, I'm interested
- onraglanroad 3mo agoThe point isn't that you can't add bad data: obviously you can. The point is that if the hashes of the blocks are published, you can't later go back and tamper with that data.
