Sharing an public keys for multiple nodes

[ambertch]

Hi,

I am using orbit-db for a multi node application. Reading the docs section on access control, node can instantiate, generate their key, then a database is created with all the keys.

My question is, if I were to use one key (and share it among all nodes), is this safe? IE part of the code will get confused if multiple machines are running orbitdb with the same key.

The reason I want to share a key between nodes is because it makes the database creation simpler: instead of generating a key on each node and then creating a database, I can just generate one key and create the database then and there, then just use the same config everywhere.

Thanks!
