Closed this issue · 1 comments

A user can create fake firmware and "Sybil Attack" the Firmware array with unuasable firmware thus making the system unusable.

Possible Solutions:

  • Require a moderately hard PoW to submit a firmware
  • Use some kind of caching to alleviate the system from holding duplicate files

Inspiration

A solution, for the time being, is to use Proof of Donation. This means that for uploading a new firmware to the network a user will have to pay some initial fees.
