How much would it cost to run 10.000 freenet nodes for one year? Let’s try to answer that: >From memory consumption I would guess that you can have 10 to 20 nodes on one computer, if you avoid the WoT. My small homeserver here eats 20W, which translates to about 20€ a year when you use industry-power (instead of my eco- home-contract). With 20 nodes per computer, you need 500 computers to run 10.000 freenet nodes. Which translates to 10.000€ a year (and an initial investment of about 100.000€). Darn, 10.000€ is just what the BKA (german central police) spends yearly to surveill skype… So they could easily afford making every second freenet node a police-node. And I just saw that simple relation: You need 1€ per year to run a freenet node, plus an initial investment of 10€ - maybe less if you purchase in high quantity. So we really need millions of users to make it hard to impede free speech - or we need widespread Darknet. Best wishes, Arne
