- What does the Client do if the Agent switches off or doesn't deliver the full time/bandwith to the Client which has already paid for it? So for example if I've paid for 1D/10GB and the Agent goes offline after 1-2h!?
A User does not pay for 1D/10 GB to a specific Agent; instead the payment goes to the system in general. Any Agent is able to withdraw funds only after confirmation, which will be performed in two ways:
1)Using blockchain if there are data transfer methods with low fees or no fees at all (plasma, whisper, lighting)
2)By sending a signed e-check that features details on the traffic/time spent. Both the Agent and Contract who will pay out funds to the Agent based on the e-check (state channel), will be able to verify those details.
- How do you measure the bandwith consumed by the Client/delivered by the Agent? How do they negotiate with each other if the Client for examle says: "Hey I've still 1 GB left" and the Agent reports 0 traffic left!?
A User pays for the actually consumed bandwidth. There is the possibility of cheating an Agent but the latter can switch off the connection at any time.
- If I've only PRIV Tokens, how can I pay an Agent without having ETH within the same wallet to pay the GAS needed for the transfer?
PRIX,not PRIV. You will need some ETH for GAS but we will try to minimize expenses.
- How do I announce/request an Agent if I've no ETH within my wallet?
Via the Whisper only.
- What do you do if the ETH backlock is at high load? So requesting a new Agent from a Client could take 20-30 Mins? Depending on the GAS-Price?
We believe in a further development of the Ethereum network; otherwise, our project as well as other projects are pointless.
- What does the Client do if an Agent doesn't deliver? So for example if your testnode is detected and the Agent grants it access to the net, but not to a regular connecting Client?
The Client will request a new subscription.
- When will the testnode client be converted into a smart contract and how should it test the Agents?
Please rephrase your question, why should it test the Client and know anything about the Client?
- Could you link us the patent request? Cause I think it's a major thing to see what's patented and what's not ... Cause, as already mentioned, there are already some coins/whitepapers on the market (eg. Mysterim & TorCoin)! So for a big investor it's quite interesting to know what's included in the patent!!
