Implement proof-of-authority

Open pixelspark opened this issue 8 years ago • 1 comments

Instead of PoW, allow a select set of keys to sign blocks. The genesis block decides on the mechanism used for signing blocks.

The list of keys that are allowed to sign blocks should be stored in a special table.

Would this be only for private chains? The public chain should keep PoW
