All very true, but the old axiom "Anything that can happen, will happen" usually holds true as well. And with my rotten luck I'd probably see it happen twice on my server. Murphy hates me!

Yes, I understand that the odds are astronomically small, but statistically speaking it is still just as likely to happen to me as it is likely to happen to nobody. Since this method is hailed as a new and secure way to share your very important (and often valuable) data over the internet, if there are ANY odds that it can happen, the mere possibility of somebody rambling by accident into your server is still a daunting thought.

Hey guys. I've just been introduced to the concept of Bittorrent Sync as a possible replacement for cloud storage, and am just reading up on this pretty interesting concept. I have, however, one (possibly) stupid question: Since the only ID of a shared folder is a secret number, that secret number is randomly generated on one end, and is then shared via DHT over the web, two people could manage to randomly create the same secret key and then share it with their friends. Then you would have two different sets of friends that have the same number, trying to access two different 'servers' that have the same number. What would happen?
