Peer Review of Cardano's Ouroboros

in cardamon •  7 years ago  (edited)

As I am interested in the issue of determining the order of the block producers in EOS, today I read from their whitepaper( https://github.com/EOSIO/Documentation/blob/master/TechnicalWhitePaper.md )

"The top 20 by total approval are automatically chosen every round and the last producer is chosen proportional to their number of votes relative to other producers. The selected producers are shuffled using a pseudorandom number derived from the block time. This shuffling is done to ensure that all producers maintain balanced connectivity to all other producers."

According to my understanding of the quote, the producers will be shuffled. The whitepaper was updated 4 months ago, though. @dan (or anybody of good will), could you please clarify the issue?
