Friends, Byzantine fault tolerance (BFT) is the resistance of a fault-tolerant computer system, especially distributed computing systems, towards electronic component failures where there is
imperfect information on whether a component is failed. In a "Byzantine
failure", a component such as a server can inconsistently appear both
functioning and failed to failure-detection systems, presenting different
expressions to different observers. Perhaps nowhere is BFT more
essential than on a Blockchain. Most traditional distributed computing
environments have central configuration databases or authorities that can help
right wrongs in the event that Byzantine failures occur. Blockchain applications, starting
with Bitcoin’s Proof-of-Work consensus method, are today proposing solutions to
this challenge. Can BFT and/or dBFT help solve this dilemma? Send us your
