BarterCast
BarterCast is a protocol to exchange the altruism levels of peers. Altruism is defined as the amount of uploading versus downloading of a person. The goal is to create incentives for cooperation. (See IncentiveSystems for an overview of other incentive mechanisms.)
Paper ideas
- Expression and dataset for barter partners per swarm (100+)
- Expression and dataset for number of downloads per user (1000+)
- Expression and dataset for download behavior of a community (10000+)

Source of info
Bittorrent crawl
Tribler crawl
Community crawl

Key research challenges
- Unavailability of information due to: using 1st hand info only and peers unreliability
- Overhead of sending to everyone, for instance, at the cost of 250 Bytes when giving out 10MByte.
- Bootstrapping into this collective rep sys.
