Toad: >Freenet needs to have more nodes yes, this I accept, and it's the main >reason why we will have to implement opennet. Open-net doesn't need to be doom and gloom. Open-net despite increasing the anonymity set can also be used a client pool of potential 'dark-net friends' that should be as secure as #freenet-refs is now. One could sample the open-net pool of clients for criteria (e.g. fast connections, online consistently etc) and ask to exchange references. In this way open-net would help dark-net grow, and serve as an entry point for people into the Freenet darknet. Eventually Open-net would become less and less needed, but is quite useful for bootstrapping Freenet until/if Freenet becomes large. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
