Is it reasonable to assume that we should not expect a usable test network until the consensus work is implemented?

Or maybe brink of testnet? Shouldn’t there be code audit, updates, etc. before launch? Or how is the launch defined?

In looking for a definition of the difference between BFT and CFT I was reminded of this update .
Paxos and Raft use the concept of ‘crash’ fault-tolerance (CFT). But public networks require Byzantine fault-tolerance. The difference seems subtle but it’s not. Crash fault tolerance covers how many nodes can fail between maintenance runs, whereas Byzantine fault tolerance is how many nodes can go rogue at any point in time. CFT is calculable, BFT is not.

Isn’t that just that crash is no response where there should be response and byzantine is wrong kind of response?

Yes.
BFT is nodes responding with bad info to influence matters, whereas CFT is nodes not responding (usually cause of failures in hardware etc.).
You can think of a Byzantine node as one that is not running our code, but an altered version.

a suggestion, it might be wise to take another peak at IOTA’s L1 low energy use PoW + consensus model for inspiration, last I looked they have taken off the centralized training wheels…

Thank you for the heavy work team MaidSafe! I add the translations in the first post
Малко дегустация на нещата, които предстоят тази седмица. Както знаете, механизмите за консенсус са в основата на почти всички децентрализирани мрежи, включително биткойн. Всъщност основната иновация на биткойн е може би консенсусният механизъм на...
