For example,
bitcoin has a
consensus algorithm called «proof of work» that ensures a single version of the truth.
My sense is that he needs to move
Bitcoin Cash away from POW and may be to a HashGraph - like
consensus algorithm.
Thirdly, unlike
Bitcoin which uses the SHA - 256 hashing
algorithm, Litecoin uses Scrypt
algorithm as its proof - of - work
consensus mechanism.
My sense is that he needs to move
Bitcoin Cash away from POW and may be to a HashGraph - like
consensus algorithm.
Unlike
Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH), which rely on the proof - of - work
consensus algorithm, NEO coin (NEO) uses a delegated Byzantine Fault Tolerance (dBFT)...
Friedenbach went on to explain that any change to the
consensus algorithm in
Bitcoin that does not have universal support from nodes will result in a fork.
The fork was designed to change
Bitcoin's
consensus algorithm in order to allow users to mine the currency with graphic processing units (GPU) rather than ASICs.
That's why both Bishop and Allen are skeptical that the
consensus algorithm can be used for a public blockchain, like
bitcoin or ethereum.
The difference between original
bitcoin and all of these forks is typically that the forks will use different
consensus algorithms, have different total supply caps, and so on.
Unlike
Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH), which rely on the proof - of - work
consensus algorithm, NEO coin (NEO) uses a delegated Byzantine Fault Tolerance (dBFT)

The last
Bitcoin Cash network upgrade back in November of 2017 had zero complications, and the Difficulty
Algorithm Adjustment (DAA)
consensus changes have kept the mining difficulty consistent.
It is important to understand how
consensus algorithms are being implemented, in particular, how permissioned blockchains, like Hyperledger Fabric, which uses Practical Byzantine Fault Tolerance
Algorithm by default, differs from public blockchain implementations such as
Bitcoin and Ethereum, which use Proof of Work.
Perhaps foremost among these,
Bitcoin Atom uses a hybrid
consensus model that combines Proof of Work (POW) and Proof of Stake (POS), two different types of
algorithms for reaching
consensus, or agreement, on whether or not a transaction is valid before it is added to the blockchain.
Andreas Antonopoulos surprised a crowd at a Berlin
Bitcoin conference last week by claiming that, by the end of this year,
Bitcoin's
consensus algorithm will be totally changed.
ETC uses the same Proof - of - Work (PoW)
algorithm as
Bitcoin does for reaching
consensus.
Transactions on leading public Blockchains like
Bitcoin, Ethereum and Litecoin are processed on a stable network with a well - structured fee system and
consensus protocol
algorithm.
The most common
consensus algorithm, and the one that gets the most discussion, is the Proof - of - Work (PoW)
algorithm used by
Bitcoin, and many other cryptocurrencies.
The IOTA team brings a wealth of experience amongst its four co-founders who've been active in the
Bitcoin space since 2010, with Sergey Ivancheglo having invented the «full Proof of Stake»
consensus algorithm.
