FYI, your nodes ID is a SHA-512 hash (everything is SHA-512 hash) of your node's RSA-4096 public key. (All crypto is: SHA-512, RSA-4096, and DH-group14-sha1 (for compatability with openssh)).

That relation of your node's ID is one of the Sybil proofing measures designed early on.

I designed everything to be transparent and modular with crypto so I can switch to better algos as they become available (quantum proof, I am watching you!). The first addition will likely be ECC once I have decided upon a safe (as in non NSA backdoored) ECC curve which I believe the community has not proven yet as safe as RSA-4096.
