# Peer Auditing 

The auditing mechanism contained in this folder ensures that hardware providers are running the hardware they say they are. The basic requirements will be as follows:

| Requirement                                       | Punishment            |
| :--                                               | :--                   |
| Must stake a set amount of CLR.                   | N/A                   |
| Must complete a GPU puzzle for each declared GPU. | N/A                   |
| Must be online for validator pings                | Staked funds slashed  |

## GPU Puzzle

Work in progress.

## Validator Pings

Attempts to perform an SSH handshake using Go's builtin `crypto/ssh`. If the handshake times out, this means that practically speaking, the provider is offline.
