I am trying to understand the concern, but I fail to grasp the actual
real world problem. I might likely be missing something, but assume that
any operator is only trusting 10 other operators, which I think is a
fair assumption.
This would create a network of 10^10 = 10000000000 participants from the
perspective of a single peer.
So I guess your argument is less about the scale, but more about
maintenace of trust?
So far in the initial proposal I was only considering to inherit trust
from signed peers, but maybe it would be worth to also inherit distrust
/ blocking from trusted peers as well ("My peer A thinks peer C is bad,
I judge peer A is trustworthy enough to make that decision, I will
follow its decision").
Wondering what I am missing here, input is appreciated.
