But adding second trusted peer accelerates the expulsion of attackers, you
can see it in the last graphs (-m 50 -t 1 and -m 50 -t 2) : in the case of
one trusted there not all attackers were expelled from the team for given
time, and in the second case - all attackers were expelled by ~100 round.


Ok let me rephrase like this: the addition of a second trusted peer has
little impact. The speed at which expulsions are done is comparable, and
for the 1 trusted peer case the remaining malicious peers are 1 or 2 at
most. But you're right, having 2 peers eliminates all malicious peers in
all cases, which is already a remarkable result ;)

Can't wait to see what happens with 4 and 8!
