There was a study that higher uptime correlated with the probability of further uptime so if you shift bias towards low-uptime nodes you could end will lower overall reliability. It was done on a different network with different usage patterns but imho you should definitely treat node uptime as a parameter in any simulations. _______________________________________________ Devl mailing list Devl@freenetproject.org https://emu.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/devl
