Ian, I don't think there is a choice. If a node can just say "hey I'm a newbie be really nice to me", that can be abused. I remember reading way back when I first started a node, it will take a couple hours before your node is integrated. For a user that's basically just a really long installation process. Sure it's annoying, but so what. You install it, go to sleep and try it out the next day. Maybe in that time 100% of your CPU is being eaten up. Here's one idea: Let a newbie free ride off another established node, with whom he has real trust. Alice says to Bob "here check out this thing called freenet". Bob says "hey cool I'll try it out". Alice gives Bob her link information and allows a few queries to be handled for Bob's node. She might even give Bob some popular data in her store and introduce him to her neighbors. __________________________________________________________________ Gesendet von Yahoo!
