If we want to provide such an option (which should not be given in the installer but on the config page, so established nodes will become Seednodes not nodes which haven't integrated well and will be uninstalled soon as the user just wanted to give it a try) then we need working seednode harvesting, but that seems pretty complicated as far as it has been discussed, but if you have an idea, we will be glad to hear it. We also (for obvious reasons) don't want the seednodes.fref to become something like the yellow pages for opennet (where not everyone but almost everyone has an entry and no checks are being made). The reasons are: - - freenet is anonymity software, we don't want to publish an almost complete list of our users - - if there are many nodes installed and uninstalled, the list becomes crappy, because many entries lead nowhere, it will take even longer for new users to connect - - the seednodes.fref should stay under a few MB - - we don't want it spammed or even worse flooded with entries from attackers regards Neo at NHNG -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFHl5soPUBAMhFf+J4RAtG7AJ9K2PQeeO9ElBNzHkQ7xzp0oSq2+ACcDKoV sGSo4W0dsGXvzElouY/Nf3k= =X5/K -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
