@Wayne_Murillo@shadowsonawall I immediately think of DAGs as a 'lightweight' alternative, but the technology is very similar. Do we consider DAGs a type of blockchain?
I likely use "blockchain" too liberally and usually mean any algorithm that adds successive signed "blocks" based on previous blocks to prohibit an actor from secretly tampering with historic data.
@pixelatedfist@Wayne_Murillo I don't have any problem thinking of them as a linked list, the links being a cryptographic signature of some kind, offering tamper-evidencing. It's a good shorthand, imo.
