You mean network-wide? It certainly does deter one party from having more references than another within the same node. And don't you think it would therefore be a deterrent, network-wide? The operator of an honest cancer node would really have to walk a tightrope to keep a presence in as many other nodes' routing tables as possible, yet without becoming the local ubernode too rapidly. -- # tavin cole # # "Technology is a way of organizing the universe so that # man doesn't have to experience it." # # - Max Frisch _______________________________________________ Devl mailing list Devl at freenetproject.org http://lists.freenetproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devl
