Ok, my first cut at the "watchme" functionality is ready for beta testing. I have done some preliminary testing and all seems to be working as-expected.
To use it:
1) Download a fresh snapshot (you probably won't want to overwrite
your current Freenet node, the snapshot available as-of this email
should work fine)
2) Generate the freenet.conf file as normal.
3) Add a line to your freenet.conf file with "watchme=true"
4) Download a seednodes file from:
http://hawk.freenetproject.org/~watchme/seednodes.ref
NOTE: The normal seednodes file will be useless since watchme nodes
won't talk to normal nodes.
5) Export your seeds file - type the following in the "freenet-xxx"
directory:
$ java -cp lib/freenet.jar:lib/freenet-ext.jar freenet.node.Main -x myRef.ref
6) Send the file myRef.ref to me so that I can add it to the watchme
seednodes.ref file
7) Run your node as normal
8) Try to use your node in a similar way that you do normally, but
remember that you have no expectation of anonymity whatsoever
(although it would still require a-little effort to figure out what
you are doing).
