Proof of ownership is highly spoofale though
@ZhijieWang Proof of ownership is highly spoofable though - this is just an example of what we can sub-implement. If the idea is not feasible, we can remove it from the main idea. the main idea is to prevent GPU Spoofing and Exploitation of Block Rewards
Proposal to Prevent GPU Spoofing and Exploitation of Block Rewards
Introduction
To maintain the integrity and fairness of block rewards, it is crucial to implement measures that prevent bad actors from exploiting the system through the use of spoofed devices. This proposal aims to outline a strategy for minimizing such exploitation and ensuring that block rewards are distributed more equitably among genuine participants.
Objectives
Proposed Measures
1. Limiting Initial Worker Nodes
Each account should initially be allowed to set up a limited number of worker nodes (e.g., 1-3) for block rewards. This initial restriction will help control the potential abuse of block rewards by spoofed devices.
2. Incentivizing Additional Workers and Preventing Multiple Accounts
To qualify for additional worker nodes, users must meet specific criteria, including:
These conditions will help ensure that only genuine participants with legitimate hardware are allowed to add more workers while preventing users from creating multiple accounts to bypass worker node limits.
3. Detailed Verification Feedback
Provide more detailed information on why some workers fail their verification. This information can be derived from logs available at https://github.com/ionet-official/io-net-transparent-device-metric under the
pow-logs
URL. Key details should include:This feedback should be displayed on the worker tab in io.net, helping users troubleshoot errors effectively and improve their setup.
4. Additional Measures to Prevent GPU Spoofing
Hardware-Based Attestation
Hardware-based attestation involves using specialized hardware to prove the integrity and identity of worker nodes. This can be achieved through:
5. Dedicated Reporting Page
Create a dedicated page on io.net for users to report potential spoofing of devices. This page should allow users to submit detailed reports, including:
This reporting mechanism will help in quickly identifying and addressing spoofing attempts, ensuring the system's integrity.
Conclusion
Implementing these measures will help maintain the integrity of the block reward system by discouraging the use of spoofed devices and ensuring that rewards are distributed fairly. Providing detailed feedback on verification failures will also empower users to troubleshoot and improve their setups, fostering a more transparent and robust ecosystem.
I believe that these steps will significantly enhance the security and fairness of the block reward system. Thank you for considering this proposal. Will be good if this proposal is incentivized if any of the feedback listed is implemented.
