Problem

"How to transfer the sensors readings (quality of the opinion) into a secure dissemination strategy that is similar to the existing approach?"

Feature	Classical approach	Blockchain approach
Number of used opinions for voting strategy	Last 2 opinions in robot's memory	Last 2 opinions in robot's blockchain
Dissemination State	Time proportional to sensor readings (sample from an exponential distribution with σ = 10)	Use one of the strategies described below
Exploration State	Sample from an exponential distribution	Disconnect from peers

Send one transaction each time a robot enters the dissemination state, include amount of ether that is proportional to the quality of the opinion
Expected behavior:

Robots have to solve a (hash-based) puzzle, whose difficulty is proportional to the quality of the opinion they want to send
Expected behavior:

Only connect to neighbors in the dissemination state
The longer a robot is in the state, the more other robots will receive its opinion
Problem: When do robots mine? Only in the last x seconds (fixed)? Or for a time proportional to their opinion?
Expected behavior:
