Hi guys,
I was reading the Twister paper and trying to understand how it all
worked. My main question is regarding how are old tweets kept alive in
the network, so that users can always fetch them. Does it require a
node to be online all the time to keep on publishing such tweets to
the DHT network?
For instance, if I broadcast a tweet and then turn-off my computer,
how long will the tweet be available to be accessed by other users
across the network?

Interesting. Is that handled by the DHT algorithm (say Kademlia)?
I was wondering how well it all performs against spam attacks. For
instance I could literally spam the network with millions of spam
tweets and then the network would be trying to serve those millions of
tweets for 2 months. Does that hurt the network? Can the network
handle that?
