Tendermint consensus: Are validators "known" and "pre-selected"?

Tendermint consensus: Are validators "known" and "pre-selected"?

What are similarities and differences between Tendermint consensus and Proof-of-Stak?

For example, in both consensus, a validator is selected randomly (I think in Tendermint consensus they are selected in a round robin process).

And I think in Tendermint consensus, validators are known and pre-selected, unlike Proof-of-Stake consensus. Is it true? and if yes, what entity does confirm a known validator?

Need help to recover blpckchain.info wallet, my wife forgot her password and the brute force with btcrecover is not catching the password

Need help to recover blpckchain.info wallet, my wife forgot her password and the brute force with btcrecover is not catching the password I used btcrecover to extract the wallet file (wallet.aes.json) from a blockchain account and I have been running btcrecover with dictionaries of my making but it has been going on for weeks and I am running out of ideas on how to permutate what my wife and I think the password could have been.

We do not have: The pri...

When downloading the blockchain my application is become unusable, is there an issue with my code or am I using the BitcoinJ library incorrectly?

When downloading the blockchain my application is become unusable, is there an issue with my code or am I using the BitcoinJ library incorrectly? I am building a Bitcoin wallet with the BitcoinJ Library, after looking at the example of fetching a transaction that they have shown on their github it shows that you need to download the blockchain however. When attempting to download the blockchain to view the balance of my wallet, it begins to lock up and become unusable. I have even tried downloading the blockchain in an async task like so, but still the app becomes completely unusable and the UI doesn't even load. What am I missing? I thought that the download wouldn't be that large as I am attempting to create an SPV wallet which from what I understand doesn't download the entire blockchain, or is this something I need to configure seperately? class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() { override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) { DownloadBlockchain(...
