exactly. but it's important to note that it's crypto hard to guess somebody else's block. since blocks are addressed by content, you can't share a block with someone else unless both of you stored the same block. now if you are worried about libventi blocks with pointers to other blocks, the same logic applies. venti really doesn't care what you store. - erik
