Read my proposial. I submit 2 ways of doing this. I agree that this is the biggest problem, so I welcome more ideas, but we have no idea of how much of a problem it is untel we impliment it. So lets do that. > You'll also have to answer the question I had about GNUnet-style > economic models: what crucial problem would be solved that wouldn't be > solved by the plan I outlined > (http://article.gmane.org/gmane.network.freenet.devel/8191)? I could ask you the same question. The bottom line is that my proposal is a very easy way of implementing exactly what you describe. I also agree with you that we need a network fork with a good stable branch. So I say: set tDNF to infinity, so we have unobtanum routing, then fix any problems and make that 0.5.3. Then on the unstable/experimental branch we can play with time and trust routing. > Martin Stone Davis wrote: > >I just skimmed through http://www.ovmj.org/GNUnet/download/ebe.ps, which > >describes GNUnet's economic model.
