Why is CSAM the only traffic you object to? When you run torrent clients and such how do you filter out CSAM peers from the DHT?
There were other similar initiatives where everything is encrypted, so you cannot be sure what others store on your node. For torrent you can select what torrent you download and share.
I was thinking about Storj, where you get “money” for hosting other people’s content in a similar p2p fashion. For Storj the answer to the first 2 questions are money, but you can’t answer the third, because encryption. (“Money” is not real money but some strange crypto, but that’s not important now.)
CSAM is just the worst possible example, it’s forbidden in most countries of the world, and no sane people should be ok storing it. The main thing is, if you host other people’s content, can you know what is the content, do you have some word if you want to host it or not.
You do not have a choice what your machine passes on from your peers via the DHT
DHT returns an ip based on a hash, what do you mean.
If you solely rely on DHT for searching for new things to download, than yes, that’s a good way to get unwanted material on your hard disk, I don’t recommend to do that to anybody at the curtent state of the technology. Don’t mix up things deliberately, usually people don’t do that, they get a torrent file or magnet link from a trusted source, than DHT can’t mess it up.
