func Generate ¶
func Generate( ctx context.Context, c *protocol.Chain, s []BlockSigner, db pg.DB, period time.Duration, health func(error), )

// SignBlock returns an ed25519 signature over the block's sighash.
// See also the Chain Protocol spec for the complete required behavior
// of a block signer.
