Node Activities & Messages #2

ericwangqing commented 2 years ago

Design and implement the node's activities according to the paper

Dev steps

[x] a simple process without faults handling
[x] thinking again, and then elaborating the design
[x] a full process in a static network (no latency, no join/leave, no dynamic selection of collector & witness, no fork, no confirm)
[ ] a full process in a dynamic network
- [ ] confirm
- [ ] fork

In this dev phase, We should temporarily take off the dynamic & collaboration logics, and make w3 a single node network, in which all the collect -> witness -> mint process are doing by this node.
By this means we could efficiently write and debug the fundamental block building code.

ericwangqing commented 2 years ago

In the developing of W3Node, we should separate of concerns, separate logics in the Two-Stages-Mint(TSM) activities apart from logics in the collaboration among nodes in the W3Network.

That means each time we change the TSM logic, we can test it under the singleNodeMode, and then the full network mode.

This kind of separation will make our dev life easier and happier :)

We need to sync collectors, they may have different local-facts at AFW.
