+When looking up values, DHT should return nodes and values.

+Instead of returning both, a new method could be added, "lookup_value".
+This method will be like "get_value", except that every node will always
+return a list of nodes, as well as the number of values it has for that
+key. Once a querying node has found enough values (or all of them), then

 Missing Kademlia implementation details are needed.
 
 The current implementation is missing some important features, mostly 
 focussed on storing values:
  - values need to be republished (every hour?)
- - original publishers need to republish values (every 24 hours)
- - when a new node is found that is closer to some values, replicate the 
-   values there without deleting them
- - when a value lookup succeeds, store the value in the closest node 
-   found that didn't have it
- - make the expiration time of a value exponentially inversely 
-   proportional to the number of nodes between the current node and the 
-   node closest to the value
