# Streaming mining

Streaming mining is a metric and token distribution method for utilizing various products.

Since various products have different service contents and offerings, it takes a lot of development costs and time to be included in one network. 

The streaming mining method can mine VRS tokens or HP allocated to the ECO system as a reward. The mining threshold is calculated based on streaming, so you can get rewarded. 

This approach makes it easy to integrate content from different products and get rewarded for streaming, which can be easily included in one network and saves development costs and time.

Mining method

The existing HTTP method is vulnerable to data security, has transmission speed problems, and may be subject to connection and re-server downtime, and it may take time to troubleshoot and recover. VRS replaces these shortcomings with the IPDS (Inter Planetary Data System / Decentralized Distributed Data System) method, which enables stable and security-resistant mining (block generation). As a reward for mining, you can earn HP.

Inter Planetary Data System (IPDS / Decentralized Distributed Data System)&#x20;

This system stores data by splitting it into pieces, and when needed, the pieces can be combined to retrieve and download existing data. This technology enables data to be shared and downloaded in a seamless manner, and can increase reliability by offloading the network. It also provides increased security through data encryption, prevention of data corruption and maintenance, traceability, and more.
 By not relying on a centralized server in the traditional way, you can eliminate single points of failure in your network (if a server goes down, the entire system goes down), scalability issues (performance degrades as traffic increases), security vulnerabilities (making it a prime target for hackers), and maintenance costs.
