Prevent Front-Running

Open kilrau opened this issue 6 years ago • 4 comments

We need a THOR-like implementation at some point where we

  • measure pings to nodes
  • delay orders taking into account ping with the goal for them to simultaneously reach peers

Goal: prevent/minimize front running

Advanced, so clearly after 1.0.0. Optional and clearly marked as "experimental" first.

You got it! Definitely not an easy feat! Feel free to ask for a "concept review" and any questions on the way!

Yes I have a working version here, but it is vulnerable to malicious xud operators who modify their OS to be artificially slow. I have a new design that avoids this and plan to implement it today.
