Is the main thrust and incredulity in your argument because you think there CANNOT be a better solution than burning 100,000 CPU at 100% 24/7 and sending 100,000+ redundant messages per transaction?
No, not at all. Like I said when I jumped into this thread, I think using a DHT network to somehow distribute the work is a very interesting idea, it just seems to me any solution that partitions the network will be more vulnerable to attacks that insert malicious nodes. I think it would be fantastic to come up with less resource-intensive solution that actually works.
How does Freenet generate node IDs? The only info I see in the latest Freenet paper is: … and:…which doesn’t sound like it would work very well for Bitcoin.
