skip epochs at the beginning

We should skip epochs starting from registration, not from the node's start. However, this might be sufficient for the PoC

[smartprogrammer93]

Instead of epochsToEkip in the beginning, put in the config the timestamp of the registration. Then, you can check if this preconfer is registered and is supposed to dtart duties based on that.
Skipping epochs on the node start does not make sense

[mskrzypkows]

OK. Why timestamp, and why in the config? The config is supposed to provide some parameters not to store some state. I'd rather keep epochs to skip in the config and start skipping them after registration. As I operate on epochs, it's less calculation if I check how many epoch passed from the registration.

[smartprogrammer93]

Calculation is negligible. I thought we can put it in config instead of having to store it somewhere else. But i think you are right, we should have a file or a db that saves our state (including timestamp of the registeration,)

[mskrzypkows]

So you want to store it in some protected storage, in case of the crash/restart of the application?

[mskrzypkows]

Not needed for now, maybe later we will use a state file
