Original: https://github.com/DMDcoin/openethereum-3.x/issues/29

switches pending validator set to specified validator set once trigger time has reached
pending validators need to be able to create blocks in this scenario
block signature verification does not apply in this scenario, because the new signer does not have PART & ACKS written
fork trigger is time based, since HBBFT is time aware
After this epoch switch, the fork is considered to be done, and operation continues as normal

Consequences

the key gen transactions would be judged as illegal on the real network, and not processed
- todo: also double check if the chain id is currently written as part of service transactions.
P2P connections to the the fork will become judged as another chain

Using another Port and Chain ID for setting up a Test Network will result in no communication between Test network and real network at all.
