cwebber2: that'd be fun. we should contact Miguel Freitas, the Twister developer, although that's kademlia. yet similar enough. :)

cwebber2
wilkie: twister! That was the one I was trying to remember.
#
cwebber2
I knew there was something else similar :)

wilkie: the biggest trouble would be identifiers probably, right?
#
cwebber2
since they wouldn't be web URIs
#
cwebber2
or IRIs, whatever ;)

cwebber2: I'm not sure. when attempting to design such a thing with a former bittorrent dev, we got stuck on identity verification and privacy.
#

the twister dev solved that soundly using the bitcoin blockchain techniques. although I'm not sure how well that would work in practice.
#

identifiers don't seem too challenging even if they aren't URIs. you can kinda force a name-centric model on a DHT if you try hard enough. heh. a reasonable ID is the hash of the data, after all.

does anyone here publish "quotation" posts on their personal site?
