I think Freenet should be made flexible enough to be able to try different models on the fly. If you think this model works, then you can set your node to use this model.
Given enough experimentation, working models should make Freenet behave better - and are more likely to be used while bad models will not be used. Freenet would be self improving then. Plus if a model isn't working it would be easy to change it's behaviour since it's so flexible. SM On 9/28/05, Matthew Toseland <toad at amphibian.dyndns.org> wrote: > > Interesting.
