I haven't done a deep dive, but I think this same proof of work could be instrumented in a smart contract to create a DDOS market, without publishing a new blockchain.
Oraclize has already built TLS verification into their solidity contracts for instance. So you could outsource most of the work there, I think.
EDIT: Yes, this would definitely work, and be a lot less effort than the paper.
- zmanian 10y agoI think you are right. The same techniques could be applied in ethereum to reward ddos attackers. It's beautiful and terrible at the same time. <3 We may have found a deeper horror than assignation markets.
- wtracy 10y agoDid you mean assassination markets, or does "assignation" have another meaning I'm not aware of?
- zmanian 10y agoI meant the former...
- stcredzero 10y agoAssignation markets would probably be an overall societal good, especially if combined with decriminalization.
- dhoe 10y agoAs the authors write in the paper.
