ShedoSurashu Posted February 23, 2014 Report Share Posted February 23, 2014 (edited) I currently don't have the necessary amount of devices to try this out so I'll ask instead. What would happen in this use-case scenario? Let's say I have a computer called PC1 which has a folder that contains files and then the read-only key is shared to the public. Another computer PC2, gets a copy of the read-only key and uses it. After a while, everything is synced between PC1 and PC2, however, PC1 lost connection to the network. Another computer, PC3, gets a hold of the read-only key and adds it while PC1 is down but PC2 is up and online. Considering PC2's copy is the exact same as PC1, will PC3 get the files from PC2 instead? Note that both PC2 and PC3 have the read-only key and PC1 is the only computer that has full access to change the contents of the folder. I hope that example isn't too confusing.

GreatMarko Posted February 23, 2014 Report Share Posted February 23, 2014 will PC3 get the files from PC2 instead? Yes - read-only nodes using the same secret can share files between them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShedoSurashu Posted February 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2014 Yes - read-only nodes using the same secret can share files between them So they just won't be able to change the contents of the folder but can pass it on to others while PC1 is down?

(Sorry, just want to clarify one last time.) Correct. Changes made on read-only nodes will be ignored Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShedoSurashu Posted February 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2014 Correct. Okay, thanks a lot for the help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
