Available at http://www.ee.ucl.ac.uk/~mrio/papers/infocom09.pdf I would summarize their proposal as ripple for bittorrent with a routing algorithm. The paper fails to consider the UI for managing reputation information, or the UI for finding and identifying services With a method for finding torrents and information about torrents, would be a major improvement on bittorrent, since it provides seeding incentive. _______________________________________________ p2p-hackers mailing list p2p-hackers(a)lists.zooko.com http://lists.zooko.com/mailman/listinfo/p2p-hackers ----- End forwarded message ----- -- Eugen* Leitl leitl http://leitl.org ______________________________________________________________ ICBM: 48.07100, 11.36820 http://www.ativel.com http://postbiota.org 8B29F6BE: 099D 78BA 2FD3 B014 B08A 7779 75B0 2443 8B29 F6BE --===============4129882700213216296==--
