It depends on the probability of your request passing through the same
node that faked the insert, which can just return the data as if it had
inserted it. Random audits *might* work, but as usual I'd like to see
some simulations first. ;-)

Sorry, I'm talking about a request to insert data - am I using the wrong
terminology? People sometimes seem to use request to mean a request for
data, and sometimes it means a request to either insert or retrieve data.

What I mean is that when you ask a peer to insert some data, it could
claim to have done so without doing so. Obviously requests for data are
verifiable.

I'll happily work on it once the SoC work is finished.

There's no child porn in my blog... in fact if you could keep a straight
face for long enough you could probably sell darknets as the ultimate
walled garden: "it's like an internet where you can't talk to strangers
(well OK you can, but the latency's horrible)". ;-)
