Sure. Thats why I said a WOT attribute. Some of your identies would be completely hidden but the one for the 'greynet' would have to eventually be resolveable to an IP. This could be made into a question for the node owner. eg. The following nodes want to connect via greynet do you trust them? Maybe the requesting node could send some info (a message with verifable info - I am xxx on yyy with WOT verifing) along witht the request. The issue with darknet has always been find enough nodes to trust. Using WOT we _might_ be able to automate this, at least to some extent. Question then becomes is using this idea better than opennet? Ed greynet = darknet with nodes found via a WOT.
