Types

type BinarySlush

type BinarySlush interface {
	fmt.Stringer

	// Takes in the initial choice
	Initialize(initialPreference int)

	// Returns the currently preferred choice to be finalized
	Preference() int

	// RecordSuccessfulPoll records a successful poll towards finalizing the
	// specified choice
	RecordSuccessfulPoll(choice int)
}

BinarySlush is a slush instance deciding between two values. After performing a network sample of k nodes, if you have alpha votes for one of the choices, you should vote for that choice.

type BinarySnowball

type BinarySnowball interface{ BinarySnowflake }

BinarySnowball augments BinarySnowflake with a counter that tracks the total number of positive responses from a network sample.

type BinarySnowflake

type BinarySnowflake interface {
	fmt.Stringer

	// Takes in the beta value, and the initial choice
	Initialize(beta, initialPreference int)

	// Returns the currently preferred choice to be finalized
	Preference() int

	// RecordSuccessfulPoll records a successful poll towards finalizing the
	// specified choice
	RecordSuccessfulPoll(choice int)

	// RecordUnsuccessfulPoll resets the snowflake counter of this instance
	RecordUnsuccessfulPoll()

	// Return whether a choice has been finalized
	Finalized() bool
}

BinarySnowflake is a snowball instance deciding between two values After performing a network sample of k nodes, if you have alpha votes for one of the choices, you should vote for that choice. Otherwise, you should reset.

type Consensus

type Consensus interface {
	fmt.Stringer

	// Takes in alpha, beta1, beta2, and the initial choice
	Initialize(params Parameters, initialPreference ids.ID)

	// Returns the parameters that describe this snowball instance
	Parameters() Parameters

	// Adds a new choice to vote on
	Add(newChoice ids.ID)

	// Returns the currently preferred choice to be finalized
	Preference() ids.ID

	// RecordPoll records the results of a network poll. Assumes all choices
	// have been previously added.
	RecordPoll(votes ids.Bag)

	// RecordUnsuccessfulPoll resets the snowflake counters of this consensus
	// instance
	RecordUnsuccessfulPoll()

	// Return whether a choice has been finalized
	Finalized() bool
}

Consensus represents a general snow instance that can be used directly to process the results of network queries.

type NnarySlush

type NnarySlush interface {
	fmt.Stringer

	// Takes in the initial choice
	Initialize(initialPreference ids.ID)

	// Returns the currently preferred choice to be finalized
	Preference() ids.ID

	// RecordSuccessfulPoll records a successful poll towards finalizing the
	// specified choice. Assumes the choice was previously added.
	RecordSuccessfulPoll(choice ids.ID)
}

NnarySlush is a slush instance deciding between an unbounded number of values. After performing a network sample of k nodes, if you have alpha votes for one of the choices, you should vote for that choice.

type NnarySnowball

type NnarySnowball interface{ NnarySnowflake }

NnarySnowball augments NnarySnowflake with a counter that tracks the total number of positive responses from a network sample.

type NnarySnowflake

type NnarySnowflake interface {
	fmt.Stringer

	// Takes in beta1, beta2, and the initial choice
	Initialize(betaVirtuous, betaRogue int, initialPreference ids.ID)

	// Adds a new possible choice
	Add(newChoice ids.ID)

	// Returns the currently preferred choice to be finalized
	Preference() ids.ID

	// RecordSuccessfulPoll records a successful poll towards finalizing the
	// specified choice. Assumes the choice was previously added.
	RecordSuccessfulPoll(choice ids.ID)

	// RecordUnsuccessfulPoll resets the snowflake counter of this instance
	RecordUnsuccessfulPoll()

	// Return whether a choice has been finalized
	Finalized() bool
}
