-Nodes are identified by a \texttt{NodeId}, the cryptographic hash\footnote{Throughout this document, \textit{hash} and \textit{checksum} refer specifically to cryptographic hash checksums of data.} of a public-key, created with S/Kademlia's static crypto puzzle~\cite{baumgart07}. Nodes store their public and private keys (encrypted with a passphrase). Users are free to instatiate a ``new'' node identity on every launch, though that loses accrued network benefits. Nodes are incentivized to remain the same.
