If the network is healthy and the majority of nodes are specialised, intuitively this approach would be logarithmic too. (Admittedly, having "intuitively" and complexity values in one sentence is a recipe for trouble).
Bootstrapping a network would be harder, yes, but still not impossible. -- Frank v Waveren Fingerprint: 21A7 C7F3 [EMAIL PROTECTED]|stack.nl|dse.nl] ICQ#10074100 1FF3 47FF 545C CB53 Public key: hkp://wwwkeys.pgp.net/[EMAIL PROTECTED] 7BD9 09C0 3AC1 6DF2 _______________________________________________ Devl mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://dodo.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/devl
