527    - ADVANTAGES:
528    
529        - simple
530    
531        - robust; since the blocks are all the information,
532          system state can't be lost easily
533    
534        - could be standardized as a way for different
535          P2P networks to interoperate to create a P2P Web
536        
537            - network-agnostic,
