The benefit is that you can be more precise when blocking. With a binary
solution a single attacker can easily fill your quota of low-confidence
HTLCs and then all low-reputation nodes are blocked. But not all of them
are attackers, some of them just don't send you enough traffic to get a
high
Could you explain the benefits of continuous solutions over binary? This is
something we should definitely understand before going in a more
complicated direction.
Also, I'm still not sure that the rational behaviour is to report *c*
truthfully.

By giving a high confidence to HTLCs you increase the chance that they are
relayed which should be your goal. Having a high reputation is not a goal
in itself, it's just a way to make your HTLCs more likely to be relayed. If
you always report confidence 0, then yes you will have a reputation of 1
Hi Thomas,
Thanks for the example.

Is there anything to gain from giving high confidence? By doing this, you
risk lowering your
