Some checks were added in #279: in `network`-based tests (but not the new `net`-based ones yet), we now verify that no correct node is reported as faulty. (But not whether...

I think the MITM test just needs to be fixed so that the network knows that that node belong to the adversary.

And let's also try different reordering strategies, in addition to the random one, e.g. always pick the lowest-ID node with a nonempty queue.

Also see #317 and https://github.com/darrenldl/reed-solomon-erasure/issues/28.

Realistically, if a node restarts, I imagine some of the messages will be lost and others may reach it after restart. It would be great if we could simulate that,...

Also note the usage of the words "staker", "validator" and "observer" in [the new contracts](https://github.com/poanetwork/pos-contracts/blob/master/contracts/ReportingValidatorSet.sol).

This is the [current nomenclature in the new contracts](https://github.com/poanetwork/parity-ethereum/issues/35#issuecomment-440632549): > - `observer` is the address which received at least one stake (observer can be validator if it is chosen randomly...

I don't think we should define "quorum" at all; it's not an `hbbft`-specific term and doesn't even have one fixed meaning in any particular algorithm. There are plenty of instances...

I'd say threshold cryptography is just one example of an algorithm that involves a threshold? I don't consider it a different meaning that would introduce ambiguity here. Anyway, I'm not...

Thanks, I removed the duplicate.
