RE: Monitor Witness - Know your backup witness has failed before you depend on it

in LeoFinancelast year

As i‘m still learning the details of hive i don’t understand how the network picks the witness? ( i guess „find consensus“ )

The top 20 witnesses take turns every block, then a shuffle is made for a backup witness in the 21st spot based on their rank.

So lets say I broadcast a transaction, how does the network determines which witnesses can add the next block?

It looks on the witness schedule.

Do you know were i can find this kind of information? Can also be on Code Level if you happen to know.
