You seem to use a very narrow definition of "distributed system" compared to most people. Could you explicitly state your assumptions? Your "distributed system" seems to coontain assumtions such as trustlessness and openness towards new participants. (No sybil attacks with fixed entities)
- narrator 9y agoYes, I was assuming a cryptocurrency situation in which the system is open, new participants can join, and it must work under byzantine fault-tolerant conditions. In a system such as RAFT or PAXOS this isn't the case and thus these systems can properly elect leaders.
