Title: Proposal for a new mining method. Mining with bandwidth. Post by: cocos on August 20, 2015, 02:51:39 PM I read about a new mining method from tribler project: https://github.com/Tribler/tribler/issues/23

Post by: peligro on August 20, 2015, 05:28:45 PM I read about a new mining method from tribler project: https://github.com/Tribler/tribler/issues/23 Can you explain this a bit more? He writes about donating harddisc space so how does the "mining with bandwith" works? I have 100Mb/s, so i would like to know if i could earn from that. :P But i fear the only way to make money from that to justify the usage would mean risk for me. I mean what is down- and uploaded? Copyrighted things maybe? And is there the possibility to get a virus? Title: Re: Proposal for a new mining method. Mining with bandwidth.

If you don't know the details, how can you be qualified to make such a decision? There are plenty of things that could go wrong with a method of coin generation, such as this one.

I for one might believe in a flying spaghetti monster deity and not believe in fires. Belief or not, you are liable for distribution of copyrighted materials.

Post by: TransaDox on August 21, 2015, 04:03:21 PM It may be that it is a reward mechanism for supplying storage to the network rather than a bitcoin-like mining. The bandwidth aspect is probably part of the reward calculation. There is a similar system in Maidsafe (http://maidsafe.net/docs/Safecoin.pdf)
I look at Tribler from time to time but it's not a very active project. Maybe time to look in again. |
