Updated integration guide "The Basics" to add brief meaning of `link` in epoch blocks. Text summarized from comment in header file: https://github.com/nanocurrency/nano-node/blob/develop/nano/lib/epochs.hpp ``` /** Returns true if link matches one of the released epoch links. * WARNING: just because a legal block contains an epoch link, it does not mean it is an epoch block. * A legal block containing an epoch link can easily be constructed by sending to an address identical * to one of the epoch links. * Epoch blocks follow the following rules and a block must satisfy them all to be a true epoch block: * epoch blocks are always state blocks * epoch blocks never change the balance of an account * epoch blocks always have a link field that starts with the ascii bytes "epoch v1 block" or "epoch v2 block" (and possibly others in the future) * epoch blocks never change the representative * epoch blocks are not signed by the account key, they are signed either by genesis or by special epoch keys */ ```
