/**
 * runNode is the main execution thread for validating and proposing bundles.
 * It runs indefintitely in rounds and should only exit when basic validation
 * checks fail.
 *
 * Each round looks the same. It starts by retrieving the latest
 * state from the chain and checking if the pool is still active. After that
 * it tries to claim the uploader role, then it tries to validate the current
 * bundle proposal and last but not least it tries to upload the next bundle
 * proposal. Between those actions are special waiting times and timeouts to
 * stay in sync with the network.
