no spies or stealing information on this internet.... or else we will have the government come after you....lolz

Reading that data and caching it for me to see what it is.

That won't work. The address is decoded in stages, two bits for each switch it passes. There is no way of telling how many bits of the address are still remaining, therefore the data cannot be discerned from the address. The data can be any length so long as it doesn't exceed (x) bits. I'm still unsure on that but I think I'm settling for 4 bytes. Edit: This paragraph is BS as this has changed.

slug can you come up with a standard for the intOREnet like bit layout can command i (or others) can start designing stuff to go with it. If you need help id gladly volunteer.

The only standards are those defined in the first post. However may I add that the max data size is probably going to be 4 bytes (per each packet), and addresses will be 8 bytes (although probably easier to display this as hex, since "my address is 9E" is much easier to remember than "my address is 10011110"). The intOREnet is simply a medium for communication to travel, you can invent your own protocols. Wanna make an SSH like connection to your CPU? Go for it! Wanna encrypt all your data? Why not? Wanna make a primitive webpage server? YOLO! Wanna upload illegal pornography? Probably best not to...

Might i suggest sponge then? Its only used for we points afaik

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll do this for now. Local areas will be other blocks for aesthetic reasons, but all the public switches and interconnecting wires will have spnge.

*Deep breath*

Here's an example of how I think the packets will look when sent from the sending device. They may look different as they travel since switches need to manipulate the address.

(Lead bit)(8 bit address)(lead bit maybe)(4 bit packet number)(lead bit maybe)(8 bit source address)(lead bit)(4 bytes max data)

So in binary looking like
1000000001000010000000010000........

The dots are where the data can extend. The overall Max size of the packet would be 7 bytes (the first three are the addresses and packet number and lead bits, the remaining 4 is the data).
If the data ends in a bunch o' 0s, then even though the device doesn't actively receive them, it can assume they are there.

As for where I have written " maybe" it's where I haven't decided yet.

And yes, I said "byte" purposefully.
