valhalla3 is a p2p protocol designed to manage downloading and making available a very large dataset among a set of volunteer computers.
As I get feedback I'll post it here.

-fenn: your names suck. change immut-val and mut-val -> claim and stamp. also make the metadata-store section clearer
+fenn: your names suck. change immut-val and mut-val -> claim and stamp. also make the metadata-store section clearer. the start of GOSSIP is a bad explanation of bootstrap, start with why.
me:
metadata store = metdata-store
immut-val -> metadata
mut-val -> stamp
mut-store -> stamp-store
+fenn: you know about DHT put/get (BEP 44)? it's similar
+me: yes i do, not coincidence. GOSSIP is scalable here and DHT is not.

fenn: you should have an option for times of day to run.
- screensaver mode that shows you progress when you're not touching the computer
- add a global leaderboard
+ screensaver mode that shows you progress when you're not touching the computer. wait maybe that's bad.
+ add a global leaderboard, it works for SETI@home
you should have a merkle-tree timestamp system that collaboratively timestamps the log of changes, so you can find the oldest claims for a file and trust those peers
