How does that work? I would expect more nodes = more capacity for answering lookups / spreading the DHT. Why is the result the opposite? If I start a full node

- dboreham 3y agoNodes end up in unconnected islands of content knowledge. Whatever node you pick to query has a low probability of knowing about some content posted on some other random node. The workaround is to force the p2p topology to make a reachable subset of nodes that you use for both posting and querying, but that's not too decentralized because someone has to coordinate the topology override scheme.
