Status

• Almost End-End PoC of the system (EC2, Docker, Client, Logging, Log Aggregation, Analysis)

Next

• Work on log format specification
• Decide on log forwarding technology

Client Requirements:

  • or via cli parameters (okay: py, go, cpp)
• RPC API (todo py)
• Structured Logging (best practices)

Questions:

• Which clients will participate?

Scenarios

high priority

• network splits, segmentation
• latency, limited bandwidth
• Hashing power discrepancy (fork rate, mining pools)

middle priority

• percentage of nodes behind NAT
• clock skew

later

• intentional takeover, double spending
• spamming, ddos,
• resiliency wrt share of malicious nodes
• order of transactions
• injections of invalid blocks
• sibil attacks
• gas price variation
• blocktime variantions between 0 and unlimited
