So are you talking about evil nodes then? That's an entirely different subject and has nothing to do with flashiness and coolness. The solution to the evil node problem is to form a close-knit group of trusted nodes and never talk to unknown nodes. In order to link the groups together into a single network you can expose one of them to a public node (the others are still protected this way) or you can communicate with other groups via an anonymous broadcast method. This sort of method is too inefficient to be used as the basis for the network as a whole, but might be acceptable to use merely as a bridge between more efficient trusted networks. _______________________________________________ Freenet-dev mailing list Freenet-dev at lists.sourceforge.net http://lists.sourceforge.net/mailman/listinfo/freenet-dev
