Only taking cash does not "just work" in denmark, because many people don't walk around with cash anymore.

That would then be an entirely different situation?

we prefer the term "sui generis geopolitical entity" ;)

How does a private blockchain work? It is my impression that the security of the block chain comes from the difficulty of mining a new block. This in turns depends on having many entities competing for mining the next block because they get some type of financial incentive.

Wouldn't a private block chain just essentially be like git? In git I can easily rewrite the entire history of my "log" by just rehashing everything. It is just git rebase. For anybody to verify I had not done this, they would always need the newest commit/log entry. So until the time I choose to publish a log entry, I am free to rewrite it and everything after it. Which is exactly the same as if I didn't use a blockchain.

It just seems like the blockchain solution depends on publishing log entries to a third party as they happen, but once you do that, the problem is already solved and you don't need a blockchain.

But I might not properly understand how private blockchains work?

Any system which publishes the log to third parties as they are written would do that.

Then sign and send the audit log in realtime to the authority which A provided their logs to. Same effect no blockchain.

You could also encrypt and publish it. But realistically there is always going to be some entity actually responsible for enacting the consequences for non-compliance and they are the only entity that really ever needs to check these logs.

I am not sure I understand what the incentives to "mine" this blockchain would be. Without a certain block difficulty, which requires many miners, it will be trivial to rewrite the entire chain.

I fail to see what blockchain can provide in the realm of audit logging?

Fundamentally, you need to trust the systems which are logging events to log the correct events at the correct time. How does blockchain change this?

It always bothers me when it says "no smoking" first and then "safety first" second. If you are serious about safety first, put it first!

The most water-like thing I am allowed by your very contrived rules. Maybe water with two slices of cucumber.

10 years ago people would write "this^" without a trace of irony on Reddit. So you are kinda ruining the experience by being semi-ironic.

The two main sources of the bible are known as E and J. The Elohist and the Jahwist. The Elohist named so because in text believed to come from this school god is referred to as El or the plural Elohim(like a royal plural). In the Jahwist source god is referred to as Yahweh.

Both El and Yahweh were gods in the Canaanite pantheon.

Or it is because Genesis is copy pasted together from two slightly different original sources. One where man and woman were created on the same day and one where Eve was created after Adam.
