That's a very good point. If serveral nodes bombed the area for a long time, it would become resistant by growing big enough to handle the attack. However in the short run I'm not so certain the network can adapt. GB of data have to move around for the network to adapt. It seems like a strange race between junk being piled in and more nodes piching in to help. Who wins?

Freenet might be able to handle some kind of localized rehashing among friends or something, but it would certainly seem to muck up your design and principle. I just want to push the envelope and see if there maybe something that can be more rigorously proven to provide security. > > > > This solution doesn't scale though.

Basically what I'm doing may not be nessesary or possible, but if is I'll let you know. __________________________________________________________________ Gesendet von Yahoo!
