The purpose of this BSIP is to minimize the cost incurred by the network doing unnecessary operations every maitenance interval.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Every hour votes are tallied and 99% of the time there is no meaningful change. Under this proposal, votes would only
|
||
|
|
be tallied when requested by a user and at most once per maitenance interval. The fee for talleying votes would be around $5.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Users of the system can determine whether or not there is a $5 difference in votes that would justify a retally. A worker, witness,
|
||
|
|
or committee member who got voted in would pay $5 to have the vote counted.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The side effect of this behavior would be to greatly improve reindexing performance, the vast majority of which is spent tallying
|
||
|
|
votes that never change.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Witnesses producing blocks on the maitenance interval can pre-tally the votes and compare them to the last value. They can then
|
||
|
|
indicate whether or not anything changed significantly in the block they produce.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If there is no one who stands to benefit by more than $5 then chances are it is an unnecessary update to the voting totals.
