Description

Display in the detaled information about user how many mutual friends he has with the current user. Make possible to view the list of mutual friends. Similarly, it is useful to see the list of mutually blocked users.

Implementation of this feature requires the long process of scanning of the user's friend list/blocking list (we can use Bloom filters to speed up). More effectively this may be implemented in the form of third-party service (search engine) that has all this information in a centralized storage. Even nodes that do not display the list of friends/enemies to the public may trust it to this service.

This can be possibly implemented without trusting to any centralized service using the same algorithm that is used to find friends in Moera that are in your phone book.

Research direction

Start by clarifying whether the scope is mutual-friend counts, friend lists, mutually blocked users, or the proposed centralized or phone-book-based approaches.
