Project Decorum: DECentralised fORUM (and protocol)

Another is that accessing non-existent data is, I think, treated as spam and can lead to disconnection.

Edit:

Abusive scenario about de-duplication

Does this count for SD’s as well? If so, it wouldn’t be possible to use forward-referencing SD chains, where the next SD is posted with as identifier the hash of the previous SD. When trying to GET the entire chain one would get disconnected after trying to GET the non-existing SD after the last one. That would be quite a pity, since we need forward referencing if we want to create truly decentralized linked-lists for decentralised discussion threads and such.

I feel it will be settable whether these are allowed to be searched

It sounds like it’s not set in stone yet how exactly this will be handled, but I’m convinced that “searchable” general purpose SD’s will exist. Not having them would necessitate servers being reintroduced for many kinds of apps.
