Alright, but that's fine for now. It's still really cool as a basis for resilient, decentralized networks. Maybe one day it'll have to be replaced by something else. Right now, it looks really valuable as an experience-gaining tool the way I see it.

Prototype, maybe. Niche art project? Disagree! It looks like a very interesting exploration of an underexplored space to me.

> You also don't really have a way to kick bad actors out without completely recreating your network, which is.. not ideal. You can make that work, but as soon as a single node is compromised, you have to re-provision all of the rest within the network.

Can you elaborate? I'm not sure I understand.

> That's because they just share a single secret to become that specific closed network.

Is that really true?
