Introduction In episode 6, Bill gives an overview of what consensus algorithms are and how these algorithms ensure distributed databases are in sync. Moving forward Bill will adopt the proof of authority (PoA) algorithm as a means to determine which node has the ability to write the next record. To jog your memory, PoA is a consensus mechanism where identity is used as a stake. By implementing this algorithm, Bill will add transparency to his dependency manager as he is no longer the only use...
