# TODO: implement this:
#
# 1. Specify a large set of trusted state signees
# (perhaps stored in a config file)
#
# 2. Download a signed state hash from a known location
# (The known location can be either a HTTPS host or a DHT record)
#
# 3. Check that enough of the specified required signatures are present
#
# 4. Download a snapshot file from a known location
# (or just obtain it from the network using the ETH protocols)
#
# 5. Check that the state snapshot hash is correct and save it in the DB.
