I did read your message. I wonder if you seriously took another look at my message about using negative trust in the doctor's appointment analogy.
And I wonder how it is that you still don't understand what I am saying!
I am done arguing over this. If you still can't comprehend this then you go make your SuperLeachFreenet, and people will laugh when it is easily beatout in any benchmark just by upping the MAXnumber of nodes in the routing table in the config file.
Tom- If I follow you correctly, you are saying that a node may choose to slant it's bandwidth usage in favor of sending queries on behalf of the local node, and disfavor the service of data transfer to others. If a node sets rtMaxNodes=200 , he can hit more nodes with requests, but only if he tones down his data transfer responsibilities. And it will cost him more to develop useful/decent estimators per node. So how can we encourage other nodes to stand up to their responsibility of providing data transfer to the network ?
