| Nov 2, 2016 at 23:46 | comment | added | kanu | Thanks, but that was my real question- why pick the one they received first, or by random? Let's say one block has no transactions but was received first, and another with the same work has many transactions was received later. Why not pick the latter? | |

Changed question to my actual doubt- why break ties randomly?

| Nov 2, 2016 at 20:57 | comment | added | Nick ODell | Also, minor nitpick: nodes use chain work, not chain height. For small forks where the difficulty is the same, the distinction usually doesn't matter, though. | |
| Nov 2, 2016 at 20:56 | comment | added | Nick ODell | If two blockchains are of equal height, clients will prefer the one they received first. | |
