It depends on the probability of your request passing through the same node that faked the insert, which can just return the data as if it had inserted it. Random audits *might* work, but as usual I'd like to see some simulations first. ;-) > RequestSucceeded? For a simple request they'd have to return DNF, RNF, > or the actual data. Sorry, I'm talking about a request to insert data - am I using the wrong terminology? People sometimes seem to use request to mean a request for data, and sometimes it means a request to either insert or retrieve data. What I mean is that when you ask a peer to insert some data, it could claim to have done so without doing so. Obviously requests for data are verifiable. > Well, I don't think Ian will let me implement shared folders, you'll > need to find somebody else to do it.

There's no child porn in my blog... in fact if you could keep a straight face for long enough you could probably sell darknets as the ultimate walled garden: "it's like an internet where you can't talk to strangers (well OK you can, but the latency's horrible)". ;-) Cheers, Michael -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFEs9Zsyua14OQlJ3sRAmskAJ4jVr99Gy7dQvGlTG0hQq/HAyPSWQCeKGL/ 1CmkKrzM4SNbwAVGtCyo5sE= =MWPq -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
