these things need spam measures to work. That was not listed as a feature.

We tried too. Several people have made DHT sniffers, including our lab. You see lots of spam and get stuck. Filtering out the noise is weirdly hard.

indeed, bit different. lots of people worked in this field and made these tools. Around 2014 the state of the art was 20k DHT responses per second, see '100 million DHT replies'. https://doi.org/10.1109/P2P.20

Sadly there is a showstopper. Quadratic voting can be bypassed if whales can make a large amount of identities. The lack of strong identity and Sybil attacks is the biggest unsolved problem in distributed systems of the free-to-join class.

Fascinating stuff. Some numbers from the startup website[1]: - < 10 eur/kWh of storage capacity (piping is now dominating cost) - The storage has 100 kW heating power and 8 MWh capacity. - three times superior to water-based storage

It is not some amount of centralization. Our experimental university work sees all startups cheat with servers. They still sell it as Web3. If you run the servers, you need to police the service! You simply become Web2 again. It should be

Malicious relays have the option to give you bogus content or real content. The block-level hashes of Bittorrent prevent anything bad getting through. So just avoid relays which are not giving you good blocks. At another level, if relaying
