If you have not yet read the mega threads from a year or two back over on the
sks mailing list discussing how filtering is incompatible with open
synchronisation, I suggest you do so before opining further. I really don’t
have the energy to explain it again! ;-) tl;dr: if you don’t have either a
central authority or an agreed, future-proof zkp system of verification (itself
a Very Hard Problem) then your decentralised network goes split brain at the
slightest provocation.

I’d also suggest reading DKG’s proposals for what *is* technically possible, as
they are pretty comprehensive:

Finally, I would suggest continuing any technical discussions on sks-devel
rather than here as we are veering off topic.
