It just takes time and dedication, the motto of any true software developer. Using the CPU power of a device that is capable of playing video games to calculate your social graph (that is stored on that same device) is extremely powerful an

That's true, its not exactly the same as your example. But the method I have developed does work.

"Or, alternatively, you store my whole friends graph on my device, which presents scalability and performance issues." With all due respect, this is where you are incorrect. Devices today completely capable of handling a large amount of com

Thanks for the reply, but take Skype for example, they have gotten over these technical hurdles. I could give you a huge explanation involving relay points and NAT traversal etc. but at the end of the day, these challenges have been defeate

IPv6 is already being deployed from top tier mobile carriers and that allows globally rout-able addresses even behind NATs. If you have no social graph on yada, then your very first connection to a friend may have to be unencrypted, but not
