Hopefully a lot of people in countries where Freenet is legal will also use the darknet, for several reasons: 1. To help the darknet in places where it is illegal. 2. To build a darknet for the inevitable point when it becomes illegal in their countries. 3. For privacy's sake; a true darknet (where you only connect to your friends) is far more secure than an opennet. > Those using darknet will not be > detectable by the authorities. > > But there are many stages of testing to be gone through before this can > happen. > > I'm sure Matthew and/or Ian will chime in if I'm wrong. > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <chat@freenetproject.org> > Sent: Saturday, December 23, 2006 4:45 PM > Subject: [freenet-chat] Finding refs > > > > Having to find and install an IRC package just to connect once to the > > freenet channel for refs is a pain in the ass - so hopefully this list > > will prove useful for that purpose (I have also read where others have > > found little luck getting refs using the IRC channel, even when there > > are many people in the channel). > > > > To be honest, this ref system is a rather tricky and cumbersome system, > > and arguably is rather irrelevant.
