After a discussion with efphe and skler, we've decided to change the ANDNA expiration time from 3 days to 30.
It has been already done in the CVS sources. We believe that 3 days are not sufficient for "disaster recovery", i.e. a node could crash without being able to update its hostnames during the expiration time. 30 days should be a fair expiration time value. Moreover, since the namespace is SO vast (512 free bytes), the problem of hostnames take over doesn't virtually exist. Example: I want to register the hname "hinezumi", but I find that it has been already taken by someone (this someone might be a spammer too), then I just have to register "hinezumilabs" or "hinezumi.lab" or "hine-zumi" or whatever. The 256 hnames limit should be sufficient to restrain the majority of spammers, indeed, today a hname-spammer gets benefits from his actions, because the name space is saturated, but in ntk, even if he registers the most common names, he won't gain anything. The hostname cancellation request will be implemented too. 0; -- :wq! "I don't know nothing" The One Who reached the Thinking Matter '.'
