Title: Best chain when same length
Post by: jackjack on May 27, 2013, 06:52:59 PM
How is chosen the best chain between two chains with the same length?
First timestamp? Lower hash?

In this case the network is in disagreement, each node chooses the branch it learned about first. The tie will be broken when another block is found.
