Big Barry Bitcoin on Nostr: I think I learned that "Blockchain" in the private sense just means a write forward ...
I think I learned that "Blockchain" in the private sense just means a write forward database. Like the event sourcing stuff, but if the data inside has any signatures or cryptographic proofs, then it's a Blockchain.
Honestly I was picking the brain of someone who was a senior Blockchain dev for an internal product for banks:
1. Yet to be bought and used by banks
2. He came straight from uni
3. He was just using existing libraries and didn't really know if and how the proofs worked and were sound.
4. I only asked about the Blockchain but I got to learn of auditing nodes and notary nodes, no mention of proof-of-X, and when I asked why the Blockchain though, he just said immutability. I think it's structural immutability, not provably real immutability if that makes sense.
