@pernia @sysrq @coolboymew @mint Do you care that they have hashed a lot of blocks, or is it better to incentivize reciprocity?

You look at the Kademlia paper and it's great but people that implemented it directly (i2p, IPFS, etc.) got a lot of nodes that exploited the network: Kademlia just uses distance and uptime. Proof-of-Work would mean dipshits with fancy GPUs own the network, which is fine if you are constructing a network where PoW is valuable. What's valuable to Revolver is reliable and timely delivery of blocks.
