B. Research the Byzantine Generals Problem – how does this classic problem relate to distributed computing?

Answer)

The Byzantine Generals’ Problem is a classic problem that is face in a distributed computing network or implementation. As we all know that Bitcoin in decentralized and thus taking such an example there is distributed computing present in the concept. In a distributed network where an nodes are of equal hierarchy and importance thus to reach the verification and agreement between 2 individuals or parties we will need all the participants to approve or reject the players. Thus Byzantine Generals’ Problem is an example of distributed computing where the components may fail and there is not any sanguine information or confirmed information as to whether that component has failed and thus, the information is inconsistent and may appear failed to some observers and functioning to other observer, thus presenting with different symptoms to different nodes or people. The Byzantine Generals’ Problem si this problem where the nodes or actors should agree on a strategy to avoid the system failure, where also some of the actors or nodes are unreliable and can be false. Thus this is a Fault in the Byzantine Generals’ Problem system of distributed computing.
