Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing community networks and crypto miners face significant initial financial investment and hardware breakage issues, with supply chain constraints limiting availability and quality, leading to potential losses from hardware or networking problems.
Innovation Solution
A distributed computing system virtualizes user-deployed hardware by connecting devices to a wireless network, allowing the system to perform tasks on behalf of nodes during outages and offering incentives for devices to assist in task completion, utilizing cloud and software-based solutions to reduce hardware requirements and enhance network utilization.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If user-deployed hardware is required for crypto mining, then mining capability is achieved, but initial financial investment and hardware breakage risks increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a distributed computing system as an intermediary between users and physical mining hardware. Users connect their devices to the wireless network, and the system virtualizes the hardware resources, allowing users to participate in mining without directly deploying or managing physical mining equipment, thereby reducing hardware investment and breakage risks
Solution Approach 2:
The system creates virtual copies of mining hardware capabilities through software-based virtualization. Instead of requiring users to possess physical mining devices, the system provides virtualized mining resources that replicate the functionality of physical hardware, eliminating the need for users to invest in and maintain physical mining equipment
2Productivity
If physical mining hardware is deployed, then mining tasks can be performed, but supply chain constraints limit availability and quality
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the mechanical/physical hardware system with a software-based virtualized system. Mining tasks are performed through software virtualization on the distributed computing system rather than through physical mining hardware, eliminating supply chain constraints related to hardware availability and quality
3Power
If hardware is deployed at each node, then mining capability is provided, but hardware needs and costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
The distributed computing system provides universal mining capabilities that can serve multiple nodes simultaneously. Instead of each node requiring its own dedicated mining hardware, the virtualized system allows any connected device to access mining resources, making the hardware infrastructure universally shared across the network

AI summary
The present disclosure is directed to methods and systems for monitoring nodes on a distributed computing network. A distributed computing system can monitor each node within a wireless network to identify when a node is disconnected from the network. The distributed computing system can dynamically perform tasks on behalf of the node until the node is reconnected to the wireless network. In some implementations, the distributed computing system monitors the utilization of the wireless network to identify when the wireless network has the capacity to perform a task.
