Cool. I've worked with DHTs before and some of the security issues like eclipse and sybil attacks might be mitigated with a topology that is based on a web-of-trust, rather than by pubkey hash. It may end up being worthwhile to research, for that reason. I would need to take another look at DHT implementations to see how they have mitigated those issues. From my understanding, because of those vulnerabilities, there is somewhat limited utility in a DHT.
