//! The `entry` module is a fundamental building block of Proof of History. It contains a
//! unique ID that is the hash of the Entry before it, plus the hash of the
//! transactions within it. Entries cannot be reordered, and its field `num_hashes`
//! represents an approximate amount of time since the last Entry was created.

/// Each Entry contains three pieces of data. The `num_hashes` field is the number
/// of hashes performed since the previous entry.  The `id` field is the result
/// of hashing `id` from the previous entry `num_hashes` times.  The `transactions`
/// field points to Transactions that took place shortly before `id` was generated.
///
/// If you divide `num_hashes` by the amount of time it takes to generate a new hash, you
/// get a duration estimate since the last Entry. Since processing power increases
/// over time, one should expect the duration `num_hashes` represents to decrease proportionally.
/// An upper bound on Duration can be estimated by assuming each hash was generated by the
/// world's fastest processor at the time the entry was recorded. Or said another way, it
/// is physically not possible for a shorter duration to have occurred if one assumes the
/// hash was computed by the world's fastest processor at that time. The hash chain is both
/// a Verifiable Delay Function (VDF) and a Proof of Work (not to be confused with Proof of
/// Work consensus!)
