Good idea, I’ll add this option to the simulation (related topic: traffic sizes on the safe network).
I’ve got a relocations parameter in the simulation that should allow us to measure this effect.
Thanks for your really clear explanation of this idea, I’ve implemented a quietesthalf strategy that goes only one bit deep, but will make an iterative version of it called emptysector. This sounds like a good strategy. Will be interesting to compare the number of key generations required as well to see how much more/less difficult each strategy is for the vault.
