Would a payment propogate through the node quickly enough to make it practical for something like this?
That is a good question. How fast do payments propagate? Has anybody ever timed a payment?
It would be something like X = N/(8^X)... I think. Where X = number of hops and N = number of nodes.
So say we have 50,000 people with nodes running.
X = 50,000/(8^X)
X(8^X) = 50,000
Uh...
It's been a while since I took a math class.
