Hello when you say patent pending - what exactly has been patented? Also the sting miners deployed will be based on what to detect threat- are you building you custom engine or its using open source.
Thank you for your questions! It was answered on

To answer patent question, patent called "Decentralized system and method for cyber threat protection" and covers whole system design, sensor network, risk scoring engine, blockchain application. StingMiner is proprietary honeypot, based on several open source projects plus incorporates many best practices for honeypot design, not implemented anywhere in LGPL/BSD/Apache. Risk scoring engine is absolutely proprietary, it uses not only honeynet, but many open source threat sources, as well as our own database of threat signatures shaped as a pre-trained classifiers. Classifier training never stops, and by correlating various sources we can establish quality training set at any time. In addition to AI classifiers, such as SVM's we use of course multivariate rules engine which knows about severity of attack, possible impact, originating country, type of business attacked, etc...
