Do we need clearer definition of general terminalogoy in Filecoin?

[askender]

Background info:
I read the doc Lotus Miner: Splitting main miner and markets service processes , and found that terminalogoy in Filecoin may need clearer definition.

An example:

The three words mining/sealing/proving are used in this doc, which mean different things.

But different words proving&mining are used in the case below, talking about the same thing:

lotus-worker
--enable-gpu-proving                     enable use of GPU for mining operations (default: true)

In my opinion:
mining means: things related to winningpost
proving means: things related to windowpost
sealing means: things related to P1&P2&C1&C2

So maybe we can use clearer terminalogoy in the command-line of lotus-worker.

Yeah. it's too long anyway.

[f8-ptrk]

yes we do.

what i have on the list is:

• what is a "pool/mining pool" in fielcoin terms
• what exactly is a "node" in filecoin terms

not having a common, clearly defined language will create confusion.

with the sub process split for the lotus miner software it will need clearer definitions

@askender maybe even move that over to the community repo? or you think we want this discussion based on lotus and force it on the other implementations?
