Title: Proof Of Location protocol Post by: g0rlitzer on February 18, 2018, 01:30:19 PM Hello guys,
since I red FOAM "introduction to PoL" (https://blog.foam.space/introduction-to-proof-of-location-6b4c77928022 (https://blog.foam.space/introduction-to-proof-of-location-6b4c77928022)) i wonder about its application. From what i understood the real factor to obtain a specific and meticulous position signal is the merging of (at least) 4 "zone anchors" (miner-knots) based on sync time. Those operators join a smart contract that enables to earn a reward for nodes activity (so called Service Level Agreements). First of all tell me if i misunderstood the article or the compliant technology. So is this protocol capable of trackign only x and y coordinates? D you think is a good choice to lay on ethereum chain or it would be better to build a propretary one? It seems to me an huge possibility for privates to build a proper owned "sonar"(maybe this isn t a good similitude) that, meshed and linked with other's ones, will track every device even indoor!

You can get all three x y and z from only three "zone anchors" - it will just be less accurate than four. https://www.google.ca/search?q=minimum+number+of+satellites+for+gps Title: Re: Proof Of Location protocol Post by: ruletheworld on February 19, 2018, 10:23:50 PM position signal is the merging of (at least) 4 "zone anchors" (miner-knots) based on sync time.

They are calling their 'smart contract suite' as the "z-coordinate" which is confusing. Ultimately, they are only tracking things on the surface, so just x and y coordinates. They then allow you to build as many smart contracts on this single (x,y) location as you want, each one getting a 'unique z coordinate' so the smart contracts are kept separate.

So I was right.. the "z coordinate" works as an unique identifier and nothing else. Another point i wish to understand relates to the indoor spacing location: just with a beacon signal system how is possible to map the real zone without a visual feedback? I mean it seems to me that this protocol would be suitable whether joined with the GPS protocol ( this one would provide a general context and the foam protocol would assure the right location) Title: Re: Proof Of Location protocol Post by: demiculus on September 11, 2018, 08:39:18 AM Here is bitses.org review on Foam
