    If I participate in POS, presumably through a VSP, I don't understand what decision I will actually make in order to vote, based on what information. Will I inspect a proposed transaction? Will I select an algorithm for validating a block? Is my vote mostly a rubber stamp?

    I acquired a ticket through a VSP, and it appears that I don't actually do anything to validate blocks. I have the impression that I might become eligible to vote on a policy proposal. As far as I can tell, my role in POS through a VSP is entirely passive, just locking some of my funds until the ticket ends its life. I did not find the documentation clear on these points.
