Random seed for pillar election only uses height

[georgezgeorgez]

go-zenon/consensus/election_algorithm.go

Line 39 in aee7ab6

 return int64(context.hashH.Height) 

Commented as:
// Generates a deterministic seed based on the context
// formula depends on seed, weights and momentumHeight

Function in practice only depends on height

my understanding is that the seed is used to create a random permutation on pillars which have been sorted by delegation weight

theoretically as long as the number of pillars is the same and the rank of a pillar is the same, a pillar can determine at which heights it will be chosen in advance

changing this would be a consensus change

Slight clarification
for group A pillars, changes to total pillar numbers wouldn't affect the selection
this is slightly worse because group A of course has significant weight in the network by definition

further discussion on future vision would render this obsolete

I apologize this is not connected to the topic at hand, but who should I contact for questions / issues with the ZNN to wZNN bridge?  If you know.  I used the bridge a few weeks ago for the first time.  Everything should have been done correctly with appropriate wallet (syrius ZNN wallet) and destination address.  I assumed I was waiting for 101 confirmations, but it's been a while now.  And from the syrius wallet side it says the bridge is no longer available and a new one is coming.              Thank you for your direction     I hope to contribute to network in the future after I learn and get up to speed 👍 On Wed, May 3, 2023 at 11:24, ***@***.***> wrote: Closed #5 as not planned. — Reply to this email directly, view it on GitHub, or unsubscribe.
