 ### Block Creation
 
-Producing a block for epoch `H` requires computing a tipset for epoch `H-1` (or possibly a prior epoch,
-if no blocks were received for that epoch). Using the state produced by this tipset, a miner can

-Armed with the requisite `ElectionPoStOutput`, as well as a new randomness ticket generated in this epoch, a miner can produce a new block.
+Producing a block for epoch `H` requires waiting for the beacon entry for that epoch and using it to run `GenerateElectionProof`. If `WinCount` ≥ 1 (i.e., when the miner is elected), the same beacon entry is used to run `WinningPoSt`. Armed by the `ElectionProof` ticket (output of `GenerateElectionProof`) and the `WinningPoSt` proof, the miner can produce an new block.

 To create a block, the eligible miner must compute a few fields:
