Re: NSE service PoW

[Christian Grothoff]

Well, the NSE service *only* gives you an estimate of the size of the 
network that is somewhat expensive for a Sybil attacker to inflate. It 
is used by the DHT to "safely" tune certain internal parameters. I do 
not know if it would be useful for Sybil mitigations beyond the DHT.

Also, please do not CC help-gnunet on these questions, just the 
developer mailing list should be more than enough!
