I've sometimes wondered if you could get nodes to sign a certificate that they will have the data stored until a certain time and return that for an insert. Then you could send a checking request every now and then such that on every hop, the node first gets to handle the request and if it DFNs the previous node busts it by tell on all its neighbors. They could all black list the jerk. If freenet is a small world the node doing the busting and the node getting busted should share serveral neihbors. I'm not sure how feasible/effective that would be. __________________________________________________________________ Gesendet von Yahoo!
