A thought regarding what "borg" on 0.7 Frost called "promiscuous peering":
Granted that you lose some anonymity to peers you are directly connected to, you regain some deniability by being connected to many non-trusted peers. The real trouble seems to be that this behavior breaks 0.7's small-world assumption --- or so I was warned. However, I suspect that most people trading node references on Frost or IRC are only doing so until they get a certain number of them, then stop. The effect of this is to create a different sort of small-world network; people you are connected to are likely to be connected to each other, to a certain extent. There may not always be a short path from one node to another but there will be many parallel paths. Does this much change how the network works? --Joel
