    It's quite simple really. Do all miners [eventually] agree on the value of a block? Yes? That's a consensus. True there are other types of consensus that are perhaps 'fairer' but t…

    Just because it doesn't fit into your contrarian view on consensus it doesn't mean it doesn't provide consensus. Nakamoto consensus solves the Byzantine problem quite well. The lis…
