- Epoch is
$k$ blocks (e.g.$k = 10,000$ ) -
$s$ are the droplets encoded per epoch - Storage reduction factor is
$\frac{1}{(k/s)}$ and needs approximately$k/s$ honest nodes
- Sample a degree
$d$ from${1,..,k}$ - Sample
$d$ blocks from$k$ uniformly at random - Bitwise XOR the
$d$ blocks - Encode a droplet
$C_{j} = B_{1} \oplus .. \oplus B{j}$
- Merky droplet: Peer reports
$C_{a} \neq v_{a}B$
