Describe block #7

Descibe blocks in the architecture?

herrBez commented 6 years ago

IMHO we can close this issue, because this description already contained in the world state section (?)

gfornari commented 6 years ago

Not really. I think right now the blocks are described here and there. For example, in the state section, we describe the tree hashes, while in the Transaction Execution section, we mention the gas limit.

herrBez commented 6 years ago

Would you like to write a separate section for blocks (I would agree ^^)

gfornari commented 6 years ago

Let's start with the scalability first, then will see :)

herrBez commented 6 years ago

I think that we could simply add a reference to the yellow paper and refer to section "Test" in which we describe only the interesting ones for scalability

gfornari commented 6 years ago

Have we already described them? :thinking:

I think, that by reading the report, one could get confused about why we only describe the three merkle tree field and not the other ones.

gfornari commented 6 years ago

I mean, have we already describe the interesting ones for the scalability in "Test"?

herrBez commented 6 years ago

We describe the most interesting ones (e.g. timestamp, difficulty and gas limit) inside the Test section (in the paragraph genesis file)

gfornari commented 6 years ago

Sorry, missed them. Nice, I agree.
