Abstract: A method of enabling a user to obtain a query result in a data network is provided taken latency problems of decentralised networks comprising a number of entities into account. The method comprises the steps of sending a query from a requesting entity to a number of further entities in the data network, receiving responses from at least some of the further entities and determining an initial relative response time for an initial group of said responses, determining a current relative response time for further incoming responses, comparing the initial relative response time with the current relative response time, and presenting the responses to a user of the requesting entity when the difference between the initial relative response time and the current relative response time exceeds a relative response-time parameter Further, a computer readable medium and a device provided with or for carrying out such methods are provided.
