Ah, I see what you mean, the top level can't be FECed because we don't want to have to use several keys to identify the file. >> Good point, I guess it's a waste of bandwidth to store data on a >> transient node. > >But how would we implement that? Don't send inserts to, or accept inserts from, peers unless they've been active for x of the last y hours? But I reckon it would annoy people to be told that they couldn't post a Frost message because their node wasn't reliable enough, it would cause the store to fill up even more slowly, and might it also have implications for anonymity?
