Algorithm 1

Honor delegates node selection algorithm.

	The algorithm for selection of honor delegate node
	Input: Voting results among N nodes, nonce
	Output: honor delegates
	Transmit (nonce, N)
	Ni : Hash (hash (BlockHead), nonce)
	while (Hash (hash (BlockHead), nonce) > delegates)
	Calculate the vote of each delegate and sort them
	if number of vote of first delegate ≥ second delegate
	Select the first delegate as the honor delegate
	If the votes of different delegates are same
	Calculate the vote deviation percentage
	Select small deviation percentage delegate as honor node
	end if
	end if
