Abstract
A method for obtaining a proof of work in a computer network, having the following features: an allocation problem of a multi-dimensional auction having a predetermined time complexity is set as a function of a computing power of the computer network, the allocation problem is transmitted to a service user in the computer network and a solution of the allocation problem found by the service user is checked by computation.
Claims10
A method for obtaining a proof of work in a computer network, comprising:
- setting an allocation problem of a multi-dimensional auction as a function of a computing power of the computer network, the allocation problem having a predetermined time complexity;
- transmitting the allocation problem to a service user in the computer network;
- and
- checking by computation a solution of the allocation problem found by the service user.
A computer program equipped to carry out a method for obtaining a proof of work in a computer network, the method comprising:
- setting an allocation problem of a multi-dimensional auction as a function of a computing power of the computer network, the allocation problem having a predetermined time complexity;
- transmitting the allocation problem to a service user in the computer network;
- and
- checking by computation a solution of the allocation problem found by the service user.
A machine-readable storage medium on which a computer program is stored, the computer program being equipped to carry out a method for obtaining a proof of work in a computer network, the method comprising:
- setting an allocation problem of a multi-dimensional auction as a function of a computing power of the computer network, the allocation problem having a predetermined time complexity;
- transmitting the allocation problem to a service user in the computer network;
- and
- checking by computation a solution of the allocation problem found by the service user.
A device equipped to carry out a method for obtaining a proof of work in a computer network, comprising:
- an arrangement for setting an allocation problem of a multi-dimensional auction as a function of a computing power of the computer network, the allocation problem having a predetermined time complexity;
- an arrangement for transmitting the allocation problem to a service user in the computer network;
- and
- an arrangement for checking by computation a solution of the allocation problem found by the service user.
