Functions

func ConsensusString

func ConsensusString(name string, nodes []*snowballNode) string

ConsensusString converts a list of snowball nodes into a human-readable string.

Types

type Consensus

type Consensus interface {
	fmt.Stringer

	// Takes in the context, alpha, betaVirtuous, and betaRogue
	Initialize(*snow.Context, sbcon.Parameters) error

	// Returns the parameters that describe this snowstorm instance
	Parameters() sbcon.Parameters

	// Returns true if transaction <Tx> is virtuous.
	// That is, no transaction has been added that conflicts with <Tx>
	IsVirtuous(Tx) bool

	// Adds a new transaction to vote on. Returns if a critical error has
	// occurred.
	Add(Tx) error

	// Returns true iff transaction <Tx> has been added
	Issued(Tx) bool

	// Returns the set of virtuous transactions
	// that have not yet been accepted or rejected
	Virtuous() ids.Set

	// Returns the currently preferred transactions to be finalized
	Preferences() ids.Set

	// Returns the set of transactions conflicting with <Tx>
	Conflicts(Tx) ids.Set

	// Collects the results of a network poll. Assumes all transactions
	// have been previously added. Returns true is any statuses or preferences
	// changed. Returns if a critical error has occurred.
	RecordPoll(ids.Bag) (bool, error)

	// Returns true iff all remaining transactions are rogue. Note, it is
	// possible that after returning quiesce, a new decision may be added such
	// that this instance should no longer quiesce.
	Quiesce() bool

	// Returns true iff all added transactions have been finalized. Note, it is
	// possible that after returning finalized, a new decision may be added such
	// that this instance is no longer finalized.
	Finalized() bool

	// HealthCheck returns information about the consensus health.
	HealthCheck() (interface{}, error)
	// contains filtered or unexported methods
}

Consensus is a snowball instance deciding between an unbounded number of non-transitive conflicts. After performing a network sample of k nodes, you should call collect with the responses.

	//
	// Similarly, each element of Dependencies must be accepted before this
	// transaction is accepted.
	Dependencies() ([]Tx, error)

	// InputIDs is a set where each element is the ID of a piece of state that
	// will be consumed if this transaction is accepted.
	//
	// In the context of a UTXO-based payments system, for example, this would
	// be the IDs of the UTXOs consumed by this transaction

	// Verify that the state transition this transaction would make if it were
	// accepted is valid. If the state transition is invalid, a non-nil error
