最近，人们对基于区块链的分布式账本系统（如比特币、以太坊等）的兴趣激增。这方面的许多工作起源于分布式计算社区之外，但是所提出的问题，如共识、复制、容错、隐私和安全性等等，都是我们社区所熟悉的问题。这次演讲从经典分布式计算的角度调查了基于区块链的分布式系统的理论和实践，以及对我们社区未来有希望的研究方向的鲁莽猜测。
There has been a recent explosion of interest in blockchain-based distributed ledger systems such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and many others. Much of this work originated outside the distributed computing community, but the questions raised, such as consensus, replication, fault-tolerance, privacy, and security, and so on, are all issues familiar to our community. This talk surveys the theory and practice of blockchain-based distributed systems from the point of view of classical distributed computing, along with reckless speculation about promising future research directions for our community.
