Hi Dhaavi, Mycoria looks very promising and it reminded me of the early days of peer-to-peer system with Napster and Gnutella [1].

Any specific reason why you didn't use the standard based segment routing for source routing support, that can be adopted at layer 3 instead of custom layer 4 transport [2]?

For security analysis did you use BAN logic and ProVerif tool for verification [3], [4]?

Thanks!

I wasn't really aware segment routing, tbh. However, I do think with where Mycoria is going, the additional control to change things as needed will be required.

I have used VerifPal https://verifpal.com/ for security analysis before, but not yet with Mycoria.

...i wonder what happens to humankind if all there is, is only Wikipedia.

What happened to referring to individual, topic-specific sites? WP has so many issues with both its data, and their governance.

Oh i guess it's just people being lazy. _I_ don't trust WP for domain-specific knowledge at all.

Every Wikipedia page links to their sources. Have you tried reading those?

Just like the cambridge link he shared: it is a well written article with tons of references describing the source of the information.

Just ignore him. He only created his account an hour ago, he's probably just a troll.

To me that's the other way around: I would assume any non-WP link to direct me to some corporate blog, half automatically generatrd and full of trackers, whereas I trust WP to give me a broad and relatively neutral point of view with many links to go from there.

Indeed. See "Canceling Disputes": https://www.cambridge.org/core/services/aop-cambridge-core/c....
