Synchronization – If multiple nodes start at different points, the nodes must be synchronized to operate simultaneously.
Can a miner mine multiple candidate blocks simultaneously, even if only one block is added to the chain every 10 minutes?
- Time synchronization between nodes:
If multiple nodes start at different points, they must be synchronized to operate simultaneously. For example, node A starts at time t1 and node B starts at time t2. So we synchronize node B with node A’s clock. Like this…
But this may not be possible in large networks.
Just because the Bitcoin network mines a new block every 10 minutes, does that mean the ledger for each individual node is updated every 10 minutes? Therefore, regardless of when an individual node is started, its ledger will be updated within 10 minutes.
