Abstract
An permissionless blockchain consensus method with adjusting block weight, comprising: setting weights of all blocks in the permissionless blockchain to the same initial value; determining parent edges(forward reference-edges) of any one of blocks in the permissionless blockchain according to the blockchain topology; detecting whether a first judgment block x is in blocks contained by the parent edge of a block b; if yes, determining that the block b is an unstable block and transferring to next step, otherwise, determining the block b is a stable block and transferring to a pivot chain consensus step; and detecting whether a second judgment blocky is in the stable block contained by the parent edge of the block b; if yes, determining the block b is a readjusted block and transferring to a weight adjustment step, otherwise, determining the block b is a stable block and transferring to the pivot chain consensus step.
