Situation 1:
Someone randomly goes around the DHT sending friend requests to everyone.
Prevented by:
Every friend address:
[client_id (32 bytes)][nospam number (4 bytes)][checksum (2 bytes)]
contains a number (nospam).
The nospam in every friend request to that friend must be that number.
If not it is rejected.
