| May 4, 2023 at 17:02 | comment | added | Vervious | For what its worth, if you accept questions about MPC, I think you must accept questions about byzantine agreement. MPC is sort of an evolved version of byzantine agreement, inheriting essentially all of the fault tolerance bounds (in both the computational and information theoretic settings, and the synchronous/asynchronous settings, I think). I agree that this particular question may be off-topic, since it's not very technical. | |

| Apr 18, 2021 at 13:24 | comment | added | SEJPM | I've looked into our history of questions and it seems we already have some questions on consensus mechanisms in general - as they too try to achieve security goals using protocols and mathematical means in the presence of an adversary - and on pBFT and BFT specifically. I therefore will not decide to close this question but instead leave it to the community to assemble the five votes if they think it is off-topic. | |

clarified acronyms, actually put the question in the post body

| Apr 18, 2021 at 10:40 | comment | added | kelalaka | I’m voting to close this question because this about distributed network's consensus. | |
| Apr 18, 2021 at 10:36 | comment | added | kelalaka | CS has some question on p|BFT where you might be interested. | |
| Apr 18, 2021 at 10:35 | comment | added | kelalaka | These last two comments of the OP must have been pinged to me. I've re-read and re-read our meta post and couldn't see this ` it's mentioned that a given individual is free to answer topics pertaining to cryptocurrency if they so desire` If ever there is a meaning let us know we can modify it. Our current consensus is clear, if related to cryptography (!=cryptocurrency) then on-topic. | |

| Apr 18, 2021 at 0:34 | comment | added | mentallurg | This question is out of scope on Crypto SE. You question is not about cryptographic functions used, but about other aspects which are rather design questions. I suggest to move it to Bitcoin SE. | |
| Apr 17, 2021 at 19:07 | comment | added | josh | Further, clearly implies that cryptocurrency related questions are explicitly disallowed, in the form of some type of mandatory notice, header, etc. Nowhere is it clearly stated. Your usage of the word clearly is superfluous and muddles what would have been an otherwise helpful comment. I read your profile in which you requested that people correct your language. Affirming subjective opinion as objective fact is rarely a good thing. Thanks anyways. | |
| Apr 17, 2021 at 18:58 | comment | added | josh | it's certainly not off topic, in any case, in the linked exchange it's mentioned that a given individual is free to answer topics pertaining to cryptocurrency if they so desire. BFT stands for byzantine fault tolerant, which describes a systems tolerance to the byzantine generals problem, which finds it's present usage mostly in tandem with cryptocurrency, but BFT is definitely not a topic exclusively related to cryptocurrency. That being said, being asked what BFT stands for shows that probably it's better to take this to a different forum. | |
| Apr 17, 2021 at 17:48 | comment | added | SEJPM | @kelalaka actually, the consensus algorithm (which is what is being asked about here I think) of a cryptocurrency might be a cryptographic component, so I wouldn't rule it out a-priori. | |
