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
No but don't let that deter you. Facebook open sources their A/B python
package called Plan Out.

Freenet users have the reasonable expectation they won't be tracked by a
corporate third party when visiting a privacy promoting website.

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.

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

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.

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
You might want to look into maintaining a subreddit and other social
media accounts. Its a way to reach more people.
Reddit fundraising was a big success last year with tens of thousands of
dollars for privacy projects.

I can't see the new page because of unauthorized error.
Some of the papers are on anonbib but many are not.
You can try the National Science Foundation or something like it in your
country for funding proposals.

They frown on bittorrent yes but because it takes up limited exit

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
Step back and take a deep breath. I'm not telling you to shutdown your
website and foundation and host your project on Tor' s site.
I'm questioning if the overhead of designing and maintaining yet another
anonymity protocol makes sense given Freenet's current situation. You
can concentrate on
I am a Freenet user and want you to succeed so look at my words from
that angle.
You are missing out on an obvious natural alliance with Tor that can
bring in many benefits from funding, users, publicity and manpower. The
Tor project also invested a lot in private client side applications like
