RE: Gridcoin Community Hangout #014 (RSVP & Suggest topics)
I have doubts that he was 'silenced', but it sounds quite cool. How would such a projects 'work units' work though?
What specific ranges would you be looking for? Is this type of captured data available elsewhere for processing? (competitors if this is a commercial project).
How much data would this be generating?
What would we do with this type of data? Perhaps allow for its redistribution for a fee and deleted after a certain period of time? Or would it be more for data analysis rather than interception of communications?
Yes. All of those things. :P
I'm not sure if it would work like a traditional BOINC project... how does Quake catcher work?
As for the ranges we would be looking for, all of them. Any that are possible to pick up. I think we'll get an idea of what types of transmissions are super common or anomalies, as well as how thick they are in certain areas. We might put the results against some kind of health charting (depression, road rage, etc), to monitor the effects of common waves on our bodies/psyche?
It could also act as a secondary project to the SIP communication mesh network, if said network was hosted on wifi boxes or something like that, to help leverage the distribution of bandwidth.
