I would have invitees list there IP address along with the invitation request. Maidsafe could then easily create both a white list and gray list of trusted community members and those they are unsure of respectively. Ultimately developing a blacklist.
I know IP scrubbing is an issue but they could still be logged by Maidsafe with little effort. This of course until all the proper parts are in place.
@piluso Yeah I considered that but just threw it out there. @neo totally forgot about dynamic IP’s. Well at least this attack will force Maidsafe to speed things up towards a network with greater data retention now that goals have been swapped between alphas. That will surely impress new comers. Exciting times!!
guys is anyone able to authenticate anything on TEST16?
I logged in with one of my accounts and the Auth pops up for browser & my web apps, BUT NOTHING SUCCESSFULLY AUTHENTICATES never ever and keeps showing zero total things authenticated.
A refresh was triggered from the browser after one minute. But new content is only available after a duration between 1 mn 10 and 1 mn 30 (every minute is programmed but the generation takes longer). When same content was received I was retriggering refresh every 400ms.
If many people display this page permanently, then this could generate a lot of GET requests on the network. I am not sure, but it’s possible that I have launched a DDoS attack through a popular site!
In doubt, to reduce the number of GETs, I have relaunched a new version in which the first refresh is triggered after 1 mn 15 and then every 4 seconds until new content appears (instead of 400ms). The site address is the same (safe://constellations2) but if the page is already opened you’ll have to refresh the page explicitly to take the new timings into account.
