Hi, I've just read these papers by Ben Laurie and I'm really curious.

Could this work?
Can a "Byzantine-fault-tolerant agreement" protocol be used to identify participants while maintaining them unique (so people don't cheat to get more random coins) or you need an "efficient unbounded agreement" protocol for that one?
