Couldn't every freenet node create a freesite with only the noderef? Then we'd just have to hand out the public key to that freesite, if we want to connect to people who already use opennet. A missing piece would still be a shorthand, though: A way to shorten the huge freenet URL to something we can actually type - like your URL, but as a freenet link. And even if it's a freenet link, we might be able to reduce its complexity by devising an alternate representation - for example splitting the link into 6 pieces. Currently an URL looks like this: - http://127.0.0.1:8888/USK at wptdE7H1DsHd1SHsL-J5LoyYha8Nx3oje5yhusNT7rA,- iyrzP61KoWdQDK2omI7GgV~65mwGfWtDnbi1uzp0xc,AQACAAE/freenet-cards/11/ We could make it a nicer node identity like this: wptdE7H1DsHd1SH sL-J5LoyYha8Nx3 oje5yhusNT7rA, -iyrzP61KoWdQDK 2omI7GgV~65mwGf WtDnbi1uzp0xc, AQACAAE This is still kinda long, but doesn't look as horrible. But we would have a huge list of sites which have to be kept online. Or we could go the route of i2p and create a pseudo-DNS, where nodes can register their node-ref. Something like freemail, maybe (though I don't know how secure that is internally). Using IP+port doesn't look viable for me, though, because in Germany almost noone has a stable IP. The only way I see for that would be dyndns.
