The Consensus Group Election
A new Consensus Group (CG) is elected once per epoch. Currently there are 16 members elected to each consensus group, as defined in the num_consensus_members chain variable. As of HIP 16, all Hotspots active on the Helium Network are eligible to be elected to a consensus group and are selected at random.
