Am I right that algorithms/concepts/networks like PBFT, ripple and hyperledger all fall into the same category in so far as they all suffer from being either not open (=the participation (as a node) in the finding of the consensus depends on the decision of a centralized entity) or if everyone can provide a node they suffer from sybill attacks?
