Repairs
-------
When a slot becomes empty, the remaining collateral associated with the slot is
used as an incentive to repair the lost content. Repair typically involves
downloading other parts of the content and using erasure coding to restore the
missing parts. This incurs costs for a host. To compensate the host for these
costs it receives not only its own collateral back at the end of the contract,
but also the remaining collateral from the host that failed to hold a slot.
When a slot becomes empty, some of the remaining collateral associated with the
slot is used as an incentive to repair the lost content. Repair typically
involves downloading other parts of the content and using erasure coding to
restore the missing parts. This incurs costs for a host. To compensate the host
for these costs it receives not only its own collateral back at the end of the
contract, but also a reward. The size of the reward is a parameter of the
contract.
We expect the collateral to be significantly higher than the costs of repair.
This means that hosts in the network can benefit greatly from repairs, and they
may prioritize repairs over filling slots in new contracts. This is intentional,
we want the network to prioritize honoring existing contracts over starting new
ones.
The size of the reward should be chosen carefully. It should not be too low, to
incentivize hosts in the network to prioritize repairs over filling new slots in
the network. It should also not be too high, to prevent malicious nodes in the
network to try to disable hosts in an attempt to collect the reward.
