@v, @sanjay how will the mempool be implemented?

More specifically, will it be a mempool shared by all hubs (not just "write")? Will I be able to submit my messages to my (read) hub in order to add them to the mempool?

I think we can have a network-wide mempool where every hub can add messages, most of the p2p infrastructure required is there, right?

My concern: If we are required to connect to one of 10 or 20 write hubs to submit messages, then it's trivial for a country can block this at the IP level through their ISPs.

We’re working on the full technical design right now. But yes, in this model it would be important to have a public mempool. Either via public RPCs or by read hubs publishing to the same shared mempool.
