No. Because keys are made from hashes, you can't create hashes that would force some kind of data to be routed to your node instead of another one. Because there is no relation between the hashed key and the actual name or contents of a file. So there's no way you could attract all "philosophy" or all "porn" or all "mp3" to your node, because "mp3" or "philosophy" or "porn" don't have anyhing in their hashed key that relates to their content. > [...] Also, if the key values for the references are > taken from the requests as well, then you get another situation where people > might hypothetically be able to steer the routing. Same as above...
