## Q & A
## Discussion
- Roadmap: https://pad.nixnet.services/30lL_dC0SuCkz_YzyM5RHA#
- Should the `invisible` metadata exist by itself? It's easy to exploit. You can send unlimited messages that nobody else can see.
- should being invisible require the `content` to be empty?
- what stops us from having huge metadata?
- max size of node is 65536*2+(fixed-width fields)
- Wisteria should defend itself against a flood of invisible nodes
- Can we cap the number of invisible nodes per identity?
