👉 Bob computing, also known as Bob's Algorithm, is a foundational method in the field of distributed computing and consensus algorithms, particularly designed to achieve agreement among multiple nodes in a network. It was introduced by David A. Wagner and is based on the idea of probabilistic voting to ensure that all nodes in a network eventually agree on a single value, even in the presence of faulty or malicious nodes. The core concept involves each node randomly selecting a value to propose, and then communicating with other nodes to gather votes. Over time, the probability of a node receiving a majority of votes increases, leading to consensus. This method is robust and efficient, making it a cornerstone for achieving reliable distributed systems in various applications, including blockchain technology.
