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?

The big problem in peer to peer is free loaders, the biggest problem being that we need a seeding incentive.
To fix, need something like money. _______________________________________________ p2p-hackers mailing list [email protected] http://lists.zooko.com/mailman/listinfo/p2p-hackers
