abstract = {This two-page note describes a simple idea that I had in 2005.  I have found the Castro-Liskov algorithm and other "Byzantine Paxos" algorithms unsatisfactory because they use a leader and, for progress, they require detecting and removing a malicious leader.  My idea was to eliminate the leader by using a synchronous Byzantine agreement algorithm to implement a virtual leader.  The note is too short to discuss the practical details, but they seem to be straightforward.},
