I read this as "The price paid to become part of the network is mainly a deterrent to actual users, thinning the network until three-letter agencies with nine-figure budgets don't even need large-scale attacks to succeed." The problem lies in your assumptions: > 3. Opennet is not secure unless users pay for introduction. Money is easy for attackers (e.g. groups or organizations), and hard for individuals. I fail to see how Opennet would become safer with payments. That said, I'll be happy to fork the code and reinstate a free network (free as both libre and gratis) once tunnels are implemented. Insecure? Maybe. But still as secure as Opennet with payments, yet free. — Bert _______________________________________________ Devl mailing list Devl@freenetproject.org https://emu.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/devl
