Editing Nexus P2P trust network (section)

=== What about people switching off their home computers - will that disrupt anything? ===
The Nexus network frequently refreshes itself. If one of the twenty copies of a record goes offline, it would soon be automatically replaced. The current version does ''not'' store any records offline. It is very dynamic, almost like a living thing. In the even of a total simultaneous internet failure, or the unlikely event that all twenty copies would disappear before the next refresh cycle, the worst consequence is that the searchable data is gone until the owner goes online and refreshes it (automatically). For this application, I don't think that's very serious. It would be easy enough to provide for local storage of records on multiple PC's, but it would be interesting to try to avoid this.

Right now, the only things locally stored between sessions are:
* a list of IP addresses to enable quick reconnection to the network. This list is updated every session with known active nodes.
* the identity record and reference records created by the local node owner.
* the public/private key pair of the owner.
