L6: Byzantine Fault Tolerance

Describes the Byzantine Generals Problem in a hopefully understandable way. Inspired by the original paper by Leslie Lamport, Robert Shostak and Marshall Pease:

Want more? Go read about "Practical Byzantine Fault Tolerance and Proactive Recovery" by Miguel Castro and Barbara Liskov:

You can also read about (or watch the infinite number of videos on) Bitcoin/Blockchain. Sadly due to the Bitcoin mania many of these descriptions are less-than-fully-accurate as far as the fault model goes, so don't bet your money based only on them. ;-)
