Then it will never happen. Note that I also claim that it will be useless without large size DHT because a small DHT while maybe resistant to Sybil, is vulnerable to good old DDoS and just more likely to churn away and die, just like few relays are likely be discontinued.

Size really matters in a DHT, and you currently have zero nodes and headwinds ... research is just wasting time on the wrong thing when what you should be desperate for is scale.

Luckily, Mainline already exists.
