It is not possible. While it would be possible (through hideous cludges) to have nodes supporting both crypto and message layers, the data was encoded differently, and, crucially, it routed differently based on the same key values. There is no way to have a working networking consisting of both versions. -- Oskar Sandberg oskar at freenetproject.org _______________________________________________ devl mailing list devl at freenetproject.org http://hawk.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/devl
