Replication conditions #70

Open nezzard opened 5 years ago

nezzard commented 5 years ago

Hi, is there any possibilities for make conditions for accepting new entry?

For example if(newEntry != true) { return false } ellse { addNewEntry }

The main idea is, if new entry has incorrect signature, then don't add entry to own copy of public db

if the db is public you can do something even better: Prevent tampering by fixing/removing the entry. this won't work if your database is a EventStore but it should work in the case of all the others. you can do your checks in the replicated event: https://github.com/orbitdb/orbit-db/blob/master/API.md#replicated

checks in the replicated event

It's ok, but, how to prevent adding entry inside replicate event? Can i break this entry? If yes how? And after that, will db continue replication?

Or i need to remove wrong entry after replication?

Moving this to the Field Manual so we can go into more detail
