- It might also be related to a 2018 paper by the NIST which included a flowchart to explain why you didn't need a blockchain [2] (Flowchart on page 42) 162.158.126.134 00:42, 13 February 2020 (UTC)
- Wikipedia really has no need to secure data changes, that's the definition of a wiki. Is there ANY benefit AT ALL to changing that? 172.68.211.166 01:00, 13 February 2020 (UTC)
