How does punishment work? What stops one bad actor from agreeing to collect infinite data from a variety of sources and tanking both the trust and profitability of data hosts?
Also what about bandwidth constraints on the host end
- Taek 7y agoWhen a host agrees to accept data, they put up out-of-pocket money. This makes it expensive for a bad actor to accept an infinite amount of data, as each piece of data requires more collateral to be put forward by the host. Before a renter creates a contract with a host, the renter will perform some measurements on the host and determine if the host is suitable. A renter in China will chose different hosts than a renter in the US, because the latencies and throughputs of each host will be different.
- b_tterc_p 7y agoIs there somewhere I can read about the punishments in more detail? E.g. how often the quizzes are, what the penalty is for getting it wrong / not being available for the answer?
