Hi list,
I was thinking about a slightly modified Kademlia network, with
an economic incentive to reduce free-riders.
I thought this incentive as bitcoin's fractions exchanges that may take
place as payment for services provided by nodes.
For example, there are A and B. B send a FIND_VALUE to A; if A has the
value, before sending the resource it requests a payment from B. When B
pays, the resource is sent.
There shouldn't be big modifies to be done to already deployed Kademlia
networks, but I think it must be joined by a reputation system to avoid
routing and payments problems, which I identified in [1].
So, my questions are:
1. Is this idea any good or it's only a waste of time?
2. There have been previous experiments similar to what I'm proposing?
Thank you
