I thought Travis *was* an anarchist.

Any and all communication between two parties involves an exchange of credits. So in the Freenet model, each message would request a handshake in which virtual currency was passed one way or another. I don't see any reason to reinvent things. A Freenet <-> MojoNation gateway would be fine. MojoNation does micropayments, Freenet does anonymity and efficient data caching and replication as well as aggregating individual nodes into single collective entities. _______________________________________________ Freenet-dev mailing list Freenet-dev at lists.sourceforge.net http://lists.sourceforge.net/mailman/listinfo/freenet-dev
