In this segment, Jameson Lopp discusses his methodology for testing the security models of various top 20 blockchains. He explains how he built a machine to test the node software, to see if verifying the entire blockchain is attainable for average users. He goes on to state that many altcoin blockchains use proofs or snapshots and do not allow for full user verification of all transactions on the blockchain, and what this means for security.
