The problem of abuse by community of free-ride users in decentralized networks with reward distribution is considered. Various structures for organizing nodes of a decentralized network belonging to the community of free-ride users, which can be used to obtain the greatest benefit in reward distributing in the network, are proposed. To compare the proposed structures, simulation of reward distribution was used. After analyzing the results of experiments, it was concluded that combining the nodes belonging to community of free-ride users into a structure of the "Generalized Ring" type with a sufficiently large number of nodes gives the best results from all the proposed structures.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
