the process of reconstructing the entire history of the blockchain.
Elaborate more on this.
Does this include removing permanently previous text in any accounts? And I do mean permanently. Like for example, a better hidden piece of information than what @regent is right now. It was once an account here and now the explorers doesn't show any transactions for regent. Ever.
What type of history can be erased? Literally everything?
It's impossible to alter the history of the blockchain without breaking it.
When you replay the chain, what it does is go through the blocks and rebuilds the local database for the node.
I think you're conflating it with @blurt.regent, which was an account that had virtual Blurt Power equal to half of the initial supply and decayed to 0 over two years. That account could only vote for witnesses and proposal and it was intended to be a mechanism to be used in case of a sybil attack on the chain. During the last hardfork, the governance voting mechanism was changed in a way that makes a sybil attack almost impossible.
NOTHING can be erased or altered. That's the whole point of a cryptographic block chain.
That is what I had always held, that it was impossible. So when he said that, it kinda threw me off. Thank you for the clarification.
It's worth asking. And let's not forget, that even if it's impossible to alter the history of the blockchain, it may be possible to make it in accessible. For example, this post talks about the heroic efforts of 1 or 2 people to get the chain and wallets working again after and unforeseen problem. Could that happen again? What if the necessary actions aren't taken, does the chain stay offline? I am personally not technical enough to run my own frontend, or work with copies of blockchains, or the like, so if these frontend websites stop working, and if the wallet stops working, I'm a sitting duck. I rely on a few humans, all-but anonymous and situated around the planet, keeping things up and running.
it is obvious that you are ignorant, you want to make a drama out of everything, why don't we talk about the false witnesses that ctime has, or why don't we talk about how useless fervi is. ? or how your sponsors like mmk dog without balls does not contribute anything to the platform.
Asking questions is not making drama. I'm not interested in discussing the uselessness of a person rather to question the things as they are and search for solutions of the contents. Ignorant? Yes, who isn't "ignorant" of something? It's why er ask questions. But you want to interpret that as making drama? Lol, please don't make me laugh with your gaslight.

...it's great fun identifying dimwits through the use of their own linguistics, innit?
(they are too dumb to realize that it's like fingerprint, obviously)
(they think we don't know, bless)
I know to much ,. stood at the edge of the hive chain to see it being devoured by the blocktrader true a account created under his name .

Not that anyone cares ,. just i know now ,. your keys , your property , is utter bullshit .
Where the threats done on blurt to freeze wallets and accounts and ban them from posting told me already ,. there are back doors build in the chains .
Back doors that contradict any claim made by the foundation holders about the integrity of the chain .
Decentralization ,. with a backdoor ,.. lol , that's like starting up with a lie . And undermines all trust just for being kept a secret .
