RE: Steem 0.17 Change Proposal Introduction

in #steem8 years ago (edited)

To be clear the blockchain immutability is still there regardless of edits. When posts are edited, each old version remains on the blockchain. It is up to the UI to decide what if anything to show about that history, for example an option to revert recent edits.

Thank you, @smooth, for clarifying that for me. I suspected as much.
So, checking my understanding:

  • Everything ever "Posted" goes on the blockchain.
  • Every subsequent edit goes on the blockchain.
  • The entire history of a post is accessible to an appropriately crafted UI.
  • The "final presented state" of a post depends on the UI interpreting the blockchain history.

Does that sound about right? Thanks for helping me understand. ;)
