|
|
|||
| Every block, 5 tickets are pseudorandomly selected from the ticket pool to [vote](../../proof-of-stake/overview/). Below is a high-level description of the ticket selection algorithm. A more detailed, low-level walkthrough of the ticket selection code can be found in this [video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eysGWVhDFWY). | |||

link should be to a .md file

Fixed. FYI, I do remember trying .md before and it wasn't working, so went with the /. I think my mistake was that with the /, I was able to use a relative path that wasn't technically correct (../../proof-of-stake/overview/) and it worked. Using .md with that path doesn't work. If you use the correct relative path (../proof-of-stake/overview.md) it does.

Exactly its a relative path from the current source file to target source file. This looks good now.

This PR adds a page under /research (open to placing it elsewhere) describing the details of the algorithm used to pseudorandomly select tickets for voting ( Closes #941 ).
@davecgh, I'm pretty much just rewording your original reddit post for flow. Do let me know if I've somehow mangled it. Also, if there is any other relevant info you can think of (e.g. reasoning for why this algo was chosen, references, etc.), can add.
