Hello,
I am referring to the orchid protocol as defined in the paper here : https://orchidprotocol.com/whitepaper.pdf

The paper does mention a way to make probabilistic micro payments, but what is the amount that is to be paid?
If a relay node is to bill the customer based on number of packets relayed, how does the billing occur?
Does the relay node issue a bill by monitoring the data that it is relaying? If yes, how does it protect the customer from a malicious node that over charges?

In other words, how does the customer pay for exactly what she/he is using?

The protocol is lovely and i'd love to see it implemented soon!

Cheers!
