Four documents, the same five questions.
No throughput league table and no yield. The cells are what this library is willing to say about the text.
| Question | Helium: A Decentralized Wireless Network |
|---|---|
| What the text proposes | The Helium paper for a wireless network built from independently owned hotspots. Coverage is the commodity. Proof-of-coverage is the paper's way of checking that a radio is where it says it is and that it can be heard. Later changes of purpose and token are not this document. |
| Who may write | Amir Haleem, Andrew Allen, Andrew Thompson |
| What is settled | Hotspots assert a location and participate in challenges that a radio in that place should be able to witness. |
| Load-bearing assumption | Proof-of-coverage can be gamed if the challenge design is weak. The paper's mechanism is only as good as its radio assumptions. |
| What this library says afterwards | A dense map of hotspots is not the same as useful coverage for a paying device. |
