PoSA is entirely trustless and solves the Byzantine Generals problem.

The Byzantine Gernerals Problem relates to establishing a dependable protocol for communicating over an undependable channel.

1. The problem is specific to 2-way communication. There are absolutely no arrows returning to the sender in the flow chart

Read the arrow. "Tells Joe to create a PoSA address and receive it from him." So...he sent a message to Joe and Joe sent something back. That sounds like 2-way communication.

Edit: This also happens with PoSA node 1. So your two-way communication appears to happen twice.

What? That has nothing to do with anon.

The problem of sending secret information over a clear channel was solved long ago. Google "Diffie-Hellman Key Exchange". You probably used it to log into your bitcointalk session today.

I believe that he answered to this statement of yours : "The problem is specific to 2-way communication. There are absolutely no arrows returning to the sender in the flow chart" .
In fact, there are arrows returning from Joe to Alty. Arrow going through the green box asking for _PoSA address and returning through a pink one with _PoSA address. You trying too hard to look at it as a flow chart when it is not really one, more like a diagram.
