M. J. Fromberger e92aa56a75 Clean up lint failures for Markdown files (#367)
Many of the Markdown files in this repository fail the Markdown lint check.
This change cleans up most of them, either by:

- Removing links to targets that no longer exist.
- Updating links to targets that have moved.
- Disabling the linter for files that need more revision.
- Clean up trailing whitespace in files that peeves the super-linter.

Fixes #363.

ABCI

ABCI stands for "Application Blockchain Interface". ABCI is the interface between Tendermint (a state-machine replication engine) and your application (the actual state machine). It consists of a set of methods, each with a corresponding Request and Responsemessage type. To perform state-machine replication, Tendermint calls the ABCI methods on the ABCI application by sending the Request* messages and receiving the Response* messages in return.

All ABCI messages and methods are defined in protocol buffers. This allows Tendermint to run with applications written in many programming languages.

This specification is split as follows:

  • Methods and Types - complete details on all ABCI methods and message types
  • Applications - how to manage ABCI application state and other details about building ABCI applications
  • Client and Server - for those looking to implement their own ABCI application servers
