This project looks amazingly promising, thank you for creating it and I wish you the best of luck in its success.

One humble suggestion/idea I offer to think about, related to:

> It uses trust-based Peers to share the local cache. Peers can receive, interchange, and synchronize their downloaded media. This is especially helpful in rural areas, where internet bandwidth is sparse; and redundant downloads can be saved. Just bookmark Stealh as a Web App on your Android phone and you have direct access to your downloaded wikis, yay!

Trusted peers with a shared web cache is a good start, but how about _trustless_ peers? Is this possible?

Possibly using something like https://tlsnotary.org - which uses TLS to provide cryptographic proof of the authenticity of saved HTTPS pages (but unfortunately only works with TLS 1.0)

I'm still reading through the code and the paper, but this sounds actually amazing.

I planned on integrating a self-signing intermediary certificate for TLS anyways, so that peer-to-peer communication can be encrypted without a thirdparty handshake.

It sounds like this would integrate very nicely as a hashing/verification mechanism for shared caches. Thanks much for the hint!
