Theoretic Solution to you Theoretic Problem: Hash cash. If you want to connect to me you, and I don't particularly want to connect to you I can ask for hash cash based on our two NodeIds. I just has to be enough to where it's not worth it for you to burn your CPU connecting to random nodes and harassing them. Problem solved. --- err I think. There are other ways you can force someone to pay resources with hash cash. I'm just tring to show that the problem can be solved. I agree with Ian. We don't need to implement things like this now. Just note them, and be ready to implement them when they're nessesary. To some degree just the fact that we can plug a hole makes it less likely that someone is going to bother to try using it. __________________________________________________________________ Gesendet von Yahoo!
