So eMunie uses blocks after all, this thread would've been a whole lot shorter if that was clear from the beginning. Smiley

No, it doesn't.  I was simply highlighting the similarities to help people understand why it is a solid theory.  Unfortunately it seems, that has now been misunderstood entirely.

If I was to liken it to anything, it would be Ripple.  You could also compare Ripple's ledger to blocks in the same way that I did for eMunie's.

A ledger state and a chain of blocks are very different things, with very different mechanics.

Ultimately though, at least to the more technical among us, it should have been quite obvious that there was at least some form of object, which was dictating which data set was correct in the event of a conflict due to the fact of votes.  Otherwise, what is the purpose of the votes in the first place?

I'm going to create a new thread at some point and move this discussion there.  I just wanted to clear up this hornets nest I created a little by likening ledgers to blocks.
