We have plenty of traffic already if you hadn't noticed.
So? The idea is to *spread* that traffic. Currently, we are *extremely* centralized and very reliant on a small set of nodes..
This is purely about bootstrapping. People do not need fifty nodes to bootstrap from.
You'd get started much faster with fifty nodes that weren't always flooded than with 50 centralized nodes that are flooded.
As for flooding? Why not simply add a little flag or something that if the person had it set, they wouldn't download or upload
node refs to/from others.
