Abstract
We review probabilistic models known as majority dynamics (also known as threshold Voter Models) and discuss their possible applications for achieving consensus in cryptocurrency systems. In particular, we show that using this approach straightforwardly for practical consensus in Byzantine setting can be problematic and requires extensive further research. We then discuss the FPC consensus protocol which circumvents the problems mentioned above by using external randomness.
