LightChain: Scalable DHT-Based Blockchain
- blamestross 5y agoI like this in general but the security section is ofuscation. Fundimentally DHTs are vulnerable to eclipse/Sybil attacks because you can mine for/choose node IDs to compromise an arbitrary entry. You don't need to attack the entire network. Just a critical entry. This needs a semi-centralized (ideally user configured) source of truth to fall back on to prevent attackers from just implicitly deleting critical records by filling up the DHT node-space adjacent to them and refusing to serve it.
- AR_1 5y agoIsn’t it similar to how Holochain operates?
- aarpmcgee 5y agoI'm no expert, but it sounds similar to Holochain to me.
- bob229 5y agoAnother nonsense tech with no use case. stop wasting our time
