Nah, it could employ a "drifting" algorithm and nudge its keyspace over time. I just think that as long as we're in the practice of shooting down proposals that allow nodes to determine their own keyspace, we should be aware of just how hollow the protection against that really is. -- # 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
