Sentinel manages superblock creation, voting, and submission to dashd for
network propagation.
The superblock payout occurs ~3 days (1662 blocks) after proposal voting
concludes. During this time, a masternode winner selected by Sentinel for each
block can create a candidate superblock (also known as a "trigger") based on the
governance objects and votes it has received. These candidate superblocks are
voted on by the masternodes and the candidate receiving the most votes is paid
out at the end of the period.
Beginning ~3 days (1662) blocks prior to a superblock, Sentinel selects one
masternode per block to rank proposals. This ranking is used to determine
what a candidate superblock (or "superblock trigger") should contain. Based on
the results, it either:
1. Votes for an existing superblock trigger that matches the one calculated, or
2. Creates and broadcasts a new superblock trigger if a matching one was not found
Each masternode casts only 1 superblock trigger "Yes" vote per superblock cycle.
It will vote "No" for any other triggers it receives.
Note: This means that proposal votes submitted _after_ superblock trigger
creation begins will _not_ be counted by some masternodes (those that have
already voted on a superblock trigger).
At the superblock height, the trigger with the most "Yes" votes is paid out by
that block's miner.
