That is my personal preference too, but many things are my personal preference that just can't happen. There are a lot things I keep hearing we must do: - we must resolve addresses from an internal node address space - we must have some form micro payment system - we must get perfect anonymity - we must have a moderation systems for search results / namespace - we must have links rated by capacity etc etc ad infinitum but nobody ever bothers to tell us how any of it can possibly be done. As far as the address space is concerned, we have these options: - use DNS or another centralized database. - use the ARK system I proposed which should allow for some recovery as long as addresses shift at a reasonable rate. - combination of the above Ideally I would love to have a system were a node is identified only by it's public key and each node does a lookup through some perfect system to figure out how to send to it. But for those of us whose noses are actually in the code of this system trying to make it work ideally is a long way off. > > > David Schutt > > > _______________________________________________ > Freenet-dev mailing list > Freenet-dev at lists.sourceforge.net > http://lists.sourceforge.net/mailman/listinfo/freenet-dev > -- \oskar _______________________________________________ Freenet-dev mailing list Freenet-dev at lists.sourceforge.net http://lists.sourceforge.net/mailman/listinfo/freenet-dev
