-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 What are you talking about? This isn't an "opennet hack", nor is it "alchemical", nor does it really need to be simulated since it is more about usability than something that would have a major effect on network topology (except, perhaps, to make the network bigger). It is simply a way to make it easier for two people that have mutually decided to connect to each-other to connect to each-other.
Are you going to dismiss every effort to make it easier for people to connect to each other as an "opennet hack"? Don't you realize that it is of fundamental importance that we make it as easy as possible for people to connect to each-other? And before you say it; no, this doesn't inevitably mean that people will just connect to complete strangers in a way that destroys clustering. Ian.
