I will reread the earlier messages on the topic and try to understand how my node will find the node it must send an insert to or request a file from, because the key is closest to one known to be at that node. How will it find another computer from a fingerprint? By accident? Will this not take most of the efficiency out of Freenet? Or will we all have more permanent connections by the time Freenet is at 1.0? -- Marc Schneiders ------- Venster - http://www.venster.nl |marc at venster.nl - marc at bijt.net - marc at schneiders.org| A sleepless night's thoughts : http://www.freecopy.org _______________________________________________ Freenet-dev mailing list Freenet-dev at lists.sourceforge.net http://lists.sourceforge.net/mailman/listinfo/freenet-dev
