   @teleclimber @aral @cjd #Yggdrasil is still on my list of things to try, but I wouldn't take that as an indication of network fragility - rather an indication that "hey, if 10000 of you are crawling the entire network space, you're going to really ruin the experience for Android users on 3G". Keep in mind this gives every participant a reachable IP on the network, so there's no ISP filter preventing that sort of thing like residential Internet often has.

     @teleclimber @aral @cjd I guess the other thing I would say is "everyone has to start somewhere." Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good.

     @jgoerzen @aral @cjd Yggdrasil looks interesting, but they politely ask not to use a crawler on the network. That doesn't sound so good? What happens if it gets popular and you can't count on people's general good behavior to keep the network from clogging up.

     In this era I would think protocol designers would assume bad intentions all around and design for that?
