If there are other nodes on the network that you trust, you could exchange this information with them, and have a much better idea of their specialization. Also this could also provide a basis for a non-alchemistic gage for what data should put in the store and what should be removed. > > Reject queries for things outside your specialization > > first. > > Terrible idea - specialization should occur naturally, it doesn't have > to be forced artificially, and doing so will be harmful. Well, if you can only accept so many queries it is better to accept those that: A. You already have the data to answer. B. You have previously seen the data that you will have to return. (it is nearby) and C. You are likely to see requests for in the feature. I assume that we are already doing A and B. However this would let us do C. > > 2) On every rejection message send some feedback > > giving a quota for how many queries max should be > > sent.
