The thing is that a lot of people will have only one entry point, and what
they do is ask their friend to connect them to that friend's friends, which
is more secure then being connected to ubernodes or to random people on
IRC. Think about it, who is closer to you and less likely to turn you in to
LEA or copyright infringement agency a friend of a friend or a complete
stranger?
Could be tied into the "trust ranking" system. If you trust somebody
ultimately AND set the flag for friend-of-a-friend connections, then you
get these connections.
However, it may be more useful to have a way to make permanent
connections to friends-of-a-friend, within the network. Once you are on
the network it would be good to be able to connect to mutual friends
easily, right?
That would be a good extension to my original idea.
