You make friends outside freenet. It is a chicken/egg problem if you don't have an existing network, which is why we have the opennet - people join the opennet, find people with similar interests and then start moving to the darknet. The important thing is people you know in real life are more trustworthy than those who you don't know at all. Plus if you've defined the connections you're more likely to notice patterns, such as law enforcement trying to become your only peer. -- Phillip Hutchings http://www.sitharus.com/ _______________________________________________ chat mailing list chat@freenetproject.org Archived: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.freenet.general Unsubscribe at http://emu.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/chat Or mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
