Proof of Work can Work

چکیده
and Overview Proof of work has been proposed as a mechanism to increase the cost of email so that spamming is no longer economically attractive. However, the first economic examination of proof of work argued that POW would not, in fact, work because of the difference of cost to spammers and senders of legitimate email. We illustrate that this shift in the production frontier enabled by zombies does not remove the efficacy of proof of work if work requirements are weighted by a reputation function. We illustrate that proof of work can worked when combined with the currently used reputation systems in commercial anti-spam technologies.

A New Proof of FDR Control Based on Forward Filtration
For multiple testing problems, Benjamini and Hochberg (1995) proposed the false discovery rate (FDR) as an alternative to the family-wise error rate (FWER). Since then, researchers have provided many proofs to control the FDR under different assumptions. Storey et al. (2004) showed that the rejection threshold of a BH step-up procedure is a stopping time with respect to the reverse filtration g...
متن کاملDiagonal arguments and fixed points
A universal schema for diagonalization was popularized by N.S. Yanofsky (2003), based on a pioneering work of F.W. Lawvere (1969), in which the existence of a (diagonolized-out and contradictory) object implies the existence of a fixed-point for a certain function. It was shown that many self-referential paradoxes and diagonally proved theorems can fit in that schema. Here, we fi...

متن کاملMARCINKIEWICZ-TYPE STRONG LAW OF LARGE NUMBERS FOR DOUBLE ARRAYS OF NEGATIVELY DEPENDENT RANDOM VARIABLES
In the following work we present a proof for the strong law of large numbers for pairwise negatively dependent random variables which relaxes the usual assumption of pairwise independence. Let be a double sequence of pairwise negatively dependent random variables. If for all non-negative real numbers t and , for 1 < p < 2, then we prove that (1). In addition, it also converges to 0 in ....

Let X1;X2;...;Xn have a jointly multivariate exchangeable normal distribution. In this work we investigate another proof of the independence of X and S2 using order statistics. We also assume that (Xi ; Yi); i =1; 2;...; n; jointly distributed in bivariate normal and establish the independence of the mean and the variance of concomitants of order statistics.
