I mean, who *wouldn't* agree with that?
That is sort of my point. All the projects agree on these general design principals. Now if they additionally agree on a common protocol they can interoperate. Right now most of them share the same hashing mechanism. (For CHK's anyway) And they all agree (In principal) that data should be stored biased on it's hash, and the best node is the one that makes things the fastest. Frankly that is all they NEED to agree on aside form the general messaging, IE: This is a what a 'hello' looks like. Here is a data request or an insert. Once they can see one another's traffic, all the networks will greatly expand in size, and user base. This would also provide a means to better test various implementations. (If nodes route where they think is best, better implementations will see more traffic.) This is a major win for all the projects involved, and it can be accomplished without any of them compromising their goals or putting forth a huge effort. > If this is what you want everyone to agree to, then we're already there. > > Perhaps I'm misunderstanding you.

No, I don't have a Flog, or even a node anymore. I am currently in a semi-hostile environment and will not be able to run one until Freenet can get around the most basic packet filtering. > You're obviously not getting the response you want on devl, but that > doesn't (necessarily) mean your idea is bad and it doesn't > (necessarily) mean the devl crowd is stupid.
