I'm not sure how this compares to weighted coin plus HTL - it doesn't visit a guaranteed minimum number of nodes, but on the other hand if every node in phase 1 (including the originator) tosses the first coin, there are no negative samples - local requests will occasionally go straight to phase 2 before leaving the node. If you do the same with a hop counter, an HTL of 8 or less is still a negative sample. Cheers, Michael
