Is it your intent to destory freenet? What is so wrong with having freenet as a FREE as in speach and as a place to freely put up content? Why do you wish to introduce micropayments? I hope your idea is burned, nuked, and buried - itis stupid and would destroy what freenet has created, if you cannot see that (and I think you can see that CLEARLY and I believe it is your intend to do harm to freenet hoping the developers will tag along) then you are most definitly blind, delusional, and a happily punctured windows user.
