Sounds like a thread I fired of a while back("proabablistic query rejection"). The
idea was to
take NGR's metrics apply them to yourself, and QR things you thought you'd be bad at
first. This
might even help specilization. Some people liked the idea.
One objection was that it seemed bad, that nodes could pick thier specialization. But
an
adversary could do something like this anyway.
Other voices claimed that doing this was sin against nature, that freenet will work
without it and
that the idea isn't pretty.
I think that thread will hibernate for now. Some still think it's a good idea, some
still think
it's a bad idea.
If someone wanted to, they could try to play with the code to see if it could help by
QRing based
on the distance from some arbitrary point in hash space, and seeing if it's neighbors
would catch
on and start requesting more around that point and less from the oposite side.
Tracy has been doing something similar, trimming her store. So far the neihbors don't
catch on,
but maybe this would do it, since it's much harsher.
