Sending tensors to two or more nodes is a partial solution, since you can reject ones that don’t match. But fundamentally the answer is yes — bad actors can overwhelm the swarm, and there’s not much you can do about it.
I think the project should embrace this limitation. eBay had the same problem, but it’s in a seller’s interest to deliver correct items quickly. Make a social incentive and the rest will work itself out.
- flangola7 4y agoIf you get banned from eBay your SSN/phone number/email/browser fingerprint/address/etc are prevented from coming back. What system would enforce that for computation nodes?
- 6510 4y ago> bad actors can overwhelm the swarm I don't think so. To simplify: You send out 1000 tasks, you perform them yourself, now you have 999 bad flags and 1 good one, you send out 10 tasks to the same including the good one, now you have 990 with 1 bad flag, 9 with 2 and 1 with 2 good ones, you continue sending tasks to the bad nodes and drop their response, if they send you a task you return garbage, you ask the good nodes (with say 100+ good flags) for their list of good nodes and test them one by one. You could build a system where bad nodes have to return so many good responses before getting booted that the joke is on them.
