I've got a dilemna with client design: I've seen lots of cases where newer inserted keys can't be found by others unless they use ridiculously high HTLs.
Which brings me to a question: In order for a client to be useful, there needs to be a high (90%+) success rate with retrieving previously inserted keys. I can see two ways to go: 1) "Push hard" - the client inserts keys with high HTLs, and takes forever, but the keys can be retrieved by others quickly and with low HTLs. or 2) "Suck hard" - the client inserts keys with modest HTLs, but requests keys with very high HTLs - insertion would be quick, but retrieval would take ages.
