Hi. Whonix [0] dev here.

We are looking for a censorship-resistant and decentralized way to communicate notifications about critical situations [1] to our users and host the project metadata and files themselves to resist a Permanent Takedown Attack threat.[2] Freenet meets our needs perfectly but unfortunately as documented it cannot work over Tor. If this changes in the short term we will be able to ship it in our distro to a userbase of 15K users by conservative estimates.

Other points:

* pyFreenet is very convenient in communicating with Freenet with scripts. Is there a similar mechanism that we can use to customize node settings?

* Before including pyFreenet we would need it to be signed by its respective dev so we can validate it before running anything of course.

* We would prefer if you run a package repo so we can easily pull your software for Whonix image builds.


[0] Whonix is an anonymous Debian based OS (whonix.org)

[1] Apt CVE-2016-1252: During apt-get upgrading signature verification can be tricked resulting in arbitrary package installation, system compromise. We would have liked a way to notify users to avoid running apt entirely and instead the necessary manual steps to download/verify the patched binaries.
