# Rerandomisation & Incremental Spend

Each ticket will not be valid for the entire amount of data that the ticketbook aggregated from the PSCs is; if the aggregated ticketbook is worth (e.g.) 10GB of Mixnet data, each ticket will be worth far less (e.g. 100MB). This amount will be globally uniform in order to avoid situations where differently sized tickets allow for patterns to emerge.

  The `nym-cli` examples below are for illustration only and do not reflect how credentials are accessed in production. The specific figures (ticket counts, bandwidth amounts) are illustrative; production values may differ, though individual ticket sizes are uniform across the network.

## Why a 'ticketbook', not individual 'tickets', and why not spend them all at once?
This is to account for the need for a client to change their ingress Gateway, either because the Gateway itself has gone down / is not offering the required bandwidth, or because a user might simply want to split their traffic across multiple Gateways for extra privacy.

Clients are therefore not tied to a particular Gateway they have spent their entire subscription with. If an ingress Gateway goes down, or the client simply wants to use a different one, remaining tickets can be spent with any other Gateway.

Going back to the `nym-cli` tool to illustrate this; we can generate multiple unlinkable tickets from a single ticketbook aggregated from PSCs:

```sh
❯ ./nym-cli ecash generate-ticket --credential-storage storage.db --provider 6qidVK21zpHD298jdDa1RRpbRozP29ENVyqcSbm6hQrG --full

generating payment information for 50 tickets. this might take a while!...
