Right. And it's very discreet, focused on exchanging references with people who are _really_ your friends. It only lets your friends know that you are running freenet if they have marked themselves as using freenet. Someone might want to consider starting a public group of Freenet users on Facebook (and other social networks). Then you'd be exchanging references with people you didn't know but at least they're authenticated by Facebook/et al. -- which has an interest in being trusted by users. I'd like to design some generalized darknet building tool. With many folks having extensive lists of contacts and email addresses (past and present), it'd be nice to be able to enter your current and past email addresses with a trusted source (ahh, another issue) that would act as a middle man to facilitate (while preserving some privacy) hooking up and exchanging references (in RL hopefully) with anyone who you have at one point e-mailed with you and are running freenet (or other F2F networks). Anyway, if folks want to discuss this I'd be happy to take it over to darknet-tools. I'll cross-post there now.
