i belive an hybrid of darknet/opennet would be better. If you write in the code/make an setting per client, that you can choose to be an opennet node (anyone can connect to you) or still stay as a darknet node (trade refs as now).
Althought making the darknet users connect to the opennet parts would probably be harder but in the end it would probably be better then having 2 separated networks.
