Create Purchasing Data Page #29

Open rbharath opened 4 years ago

We should add a page about purchasing data that explains the mechanics of the delivery process. The existing Datatrust page introduces the concept but doesn't really go into it in sufficient depth. This should explain how the bytes purchased from multiple deliveries pool together.

Document that front-running attacks are possible by attackers calling requestDelivery with 0 bytes requested in order to squat on delivery hashes.
