Talk:Block chain
"More serious forks have occurred after fixing bugs that required backward-incompatible changes." Any more infos on this? What kind of forks respective bugs were this?
Describing the main orphan chains and their reason would also be useful. --Http (talk) 15:33, 1 April 2013 (GMT)
It would be nice if we could start off with an explanation for a layman instead of getting super technical right away. -osmosis
Rename from "Block chain" to single word "Blockchain"?
It seems that much of the writing nowadays uses a single word "Blockchain" instead of two words. We currently redirect Blockchain to Block chain. I would like to propose that we reverse this so that the main article is named Blockchain and Block chain redirects to that.
- The Oxford English Dictionary and Wiktionary defines the term as "blockchain" with no space.
- I think Blockchain is now used by the vast majority of sources: Google News currently reports 6,200 results for block chain" and 224,000 for blockchain". Note: "blockchain.info" was excluded from Google search results to prevent false matches.
Thoughts?
