How things fit together #4

The Ring of Trust is meant as a layer to service light-weight clients.

A tremendous amount of work has been put in light-weight clients already and can be found here https://code.google.com/p/bitcoinj/wiki/HowThingsFitTogether and here http://bitcoinj.github.io/

The bitcoinj model depends on a connection to the actual peer to peer network. The intermediairy ROT could/should alleviate the known scalability and security issues of bitcoinj, resulting in a "lighter"-weight client.

A servernode has three tasks

  1. "listen" to the "real" network; This is not an issue because it is performed by the traditional deamon

  2. 6 Proof to be trustworthy (before being allowed to service clients = beeing accepted by a client)

  3. Service clients. BitcoinJ and QT will have to be mastered to divide client tasks and ROT tasks
