I thought bittorrent DHT did that, tied it to IP address. Now I'm digging in and finding out that it doesn't. What stops an attacker from randomly generating 160-bit node IDs until they get close to their target and eventually taking over a target? Apparently BEP42 fixes this but most does do not require it. I'm disheartened.

How many nodes are typically active in HyperDHT? Because if it is a lot smaller, it maybe that bittorrent DHT is still more secure on this aspect just by nature of it's size.

Ignore that idiot, he neither understands Mainline, nor the tiny 30 ips DHT he is shilling for. Sad to be honest.

Go read BEP0042, recognise that he is a moron, and watch him insist on his soundbites for years to come 😅

you might be projecting, even if you dont see it.

...but you are known to be rude. We had that in the past. Quite hopeless 🤷‍♀️
