Excacly, so upload assainatepresident.txt and they have number of suspects reduces from 10.000 to 10. Not only that but all the co-suspects are your friends! It's enough that there is a majority of evil nodes and all goodnode groups are surrounded by evil nodes, you can do the math yourself. If this ever gets to become a problem 2 ways to defend against it asfaik are to do signature verified autoupdate of client, and update the protocol regular intervals, closed source would probably also be reuiqred for this. The other solution is to try to make a flashier gui than the competitor. And if open source is bad in something, its in flashy gui's. --typo _______________________________________________ Freenet-dev mailing list Freenet-dev at lists.sourceforge.net http://lists.sourceforge.net/mailman/listinfo/freenet-dev
