[stacks-signer] signers should not wait forever for a vote to be successful and should retrigger DKG if a certain timeout is exceeded

Open jferrant opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

Currently signers just assume that if a threshold weight of responses have not been received for a DKG vote round that they will eventually show up. This could not be the case and they should have some sort of logic in place to trigger DKG if timeout is exceeded.

  • If DKG has timed out due to waiting on other signers, start a new DKG key round without those signers. (This should be done by WSTS but we need a testing scenario for this? @xoloki does this actually happen or do we need all people in the set to respond? )

I'm going to unassign this to keep my assigned issues clean - especially as we don't know when (or if) we will execute this ticket in its current form.
