Possible mismatch with the algorithm #83

Open PasinduTennage opened 1 year ago

Hi Professor Hein Meling,

According to the original Hotstuff paper algorithm page 13, Algorithm 5 (Code skeleton for a Pacemaker), line 8, upon proposing a new block, the leader updates the bLeaf to the newly proposed block.

According to your implementation, you do not update the bLeaf, upon proposing. The place you update the bLeaf is here.

Can I please clarify this mismatch?

Thanks
