You picked the one thing agencies have boat loads of and made it a requirement for operating critical parts of the network and you alienate the honest users left. Have you thought of any better ways to kill Freenet? That's got to be the dumbest idea I've heard. Its better to hear my criticism

Let's talk about the bad news and the way forward. There was a Sybil attack for 4 years. The Freenet 0day has been around for so long that LE contractors have built a kit around it. Forget global adversaries or nation states, its so bad that local police stations with shoelace budgets can att

Right. In the PETS paper they were looking at unique identifiers over a month. Your way of looking at hourly numbers is realistic because of churn. CENO doesn't mention how they measured anywhere. On 2015-10-25 01:05, Steve Dougherty wrote: We're not using Google analytics; that bug is outdated

For Pete's sake don't run Google analytics on your site. I saw a ticket for it on bug tracker. Piwik is an open source analytics system you can try instead. Speaking of analytics, I am trying to learn the network size. Steve's site reports 10K nodes, the 2014 PETS paper puts it around 60K node

Tor is designing their transport framework with the idea that other networks might be interested in them. A month back they asked other network devs what they would like to see in the framework because they are going to rewrite and improve it. Guys from I2P gave feedback and you might want to.

@Steve Very reasonable and I agree. The GSoC Transport work gives people the option of using Tor without any changes to the Freenet protocol. @xor You don't need to write a new Firefox plugin to do what you proposed. The FoxyProxy addon can redirect browser requests to proxies based on URL

They frown on bittorrent yes but because it takes up limited exit bandwidth. Theoretically Freenet is contained in the network and not exiting. Recent statistics Tor put out say only 3% of total network bandwidth goes to hidden service traffic, very underused. Total connection is 6 hops but the

Right now Freenet discovers other clients on opennet by way of seed nodes. Hypothetically you can run the nodes as hidden services and embed the addresses in Freenet clients. Clients generate their own hidden address keys and build routing tables from them. No distributed system on I2P or Tor
