Note:
We could use the blockchain as the database instead of keeping the persistence database. So instead of updating persistance.db we just get the new data from the blockchain. This might have the added benefit that we can drop boltDB
No you can't. The blockchain has an underlying DB. I think Tendermint let's you plug and play what DB you want to use for your application. As you can read in the spec, I gave RocksDB and BadgerDB as potential replacements.
I should have been more specific, I meant drop the boltDB that is in the katzenpost stack. I wasn't aware that tendermint allows you to pick a db backend, that is nice.
Currently, the voting authority state reads in the value from the config file and never again updates this list of nodes:
in state.go.newState()
With katzenmint, new authorities, providers, and mixes will need to join the the network.
