RE: 5 knowledge pills on: blockchain consensus algorithms
The 'proof of brain' is not a consensus algorithm, it is a system that the steem blockchain uses for reward content publication and curation. The consensus algorithm used in the steem blockchain is the Delegated Proof of Stake (DPOS), that I don't mention here but I'll write about it in the future. Basically in it, the first 19 witnesses are chosen randomly to validate a block and the other 2 blocks are validated by another witnesses not in the first 19 and the other one is validated in another way.
Okay, thanks for the explanation. It can be confusing sometimes, the choice of words etc. I'm looking forward to more posts about this subject from you.
