technical questions from slack

Feb 1st fork:
What is the cause?  What is being done to prevent it in the future?

How do I tell what fork is the right fork?

Is it possible to read the blockchain data directly from the memory mapped files somehow?

Is there such thing as an orphan in this PoS model?

Where is a sample heat.replicate.* file?

Can you tell me how `previousBlockHash` is calculated since the block hash is not included in the block, only the following block.

Can the whitepaper be updated with some more of the technical data, especially how hashes are generated, please?

How do we calculate our chance of forging a block based on our token count and the total tokens staked?  It doesnt seem to be linear, or is it?```

Excellent questions, Dennis will attend to them as soon as he has a chance.

Can you also list the transaction types and their associated values please?
