// current chain tip, where 'x' is selected from the gamma distribution recommended in Miller et al.
// (https://arxiv.org/pdf/1704.04299/).
// Our method is to get the average time delta between outputs in the recent past, estimate the number of
// outputs 'n' that would have appeared between 'chain_tip - x' and 'chain_tip', select the real output at
// 'current_num_outputs - n', then randomly select an output from the block where that output appears.
// Source code to paper: https://github.com/maltemoeser/moneropaper
//
// Due to the 'default spendable age' mechanic in Monero, 'current_num_outputs' only contains
// currently *unlocked* outputs, which means the earliest output that can be selected is not at the chain tip!
// Therefore, we must offset 'x' so it matches up with the timing of the outputs being considered. We do
// this by saying if 'x` equals the expected age of the first unlocked output (compared to the current
// chain tip - i.e. DEFAULT_UNLOCK_TIME), then select the first unlocked output.

// be spent within RECENT_SPEND_WINDOW after allowed. So it returns an output that falls between 0 and the RECENT_SPEND_WINDOW.
// The RECENT_SPEND_WINDOW was determined with empirical analysis of observed data.
