RE: GridcoinStats Faucet; Backed with rewards from a stable community
I'm taking cheating seriously and suggestions on fail safe measures are always welcome.
But this angle that you describe, I think, is not working. You gain a CPID from Boinc, not te Gridcoin wallet, once you start up. As only active CPIDs with a RAC score above 0 and has staked one block in the past 6 months are eligible for an extra reward, the way you describe wouldn't work. You would have to crunch with different BOINC clients, or rotate the CPID on them as well. And a RAC score diminish if you don't crunch.
Thr lower the score, the less likely to stake a block as well. One counter measure if anything, would be to increase the amounts of blocks you would have to do or make a smaller reward and do it up to a sum of new blocks for the user. Something like 5 GRC per first 2 blocks and additional 10 GRC for the third.
This doesn't mean I dont think someone would try to fool my system, but I do all the means I can to prevent it without harming normal users.
yes, I am aware that CPID is from boinc
and I am pretty sure what I outlined above will work, one doesn't even need much coding skills
we can talk more in mumble about a solution
I'm all up for a system that works and can't be fooled and if you think they can, we need to look at it and how to prevent it. I'll try to attend this mumble session that are up for Saturday. Thanks for your help and commitment @erkan.
