Would you pay to join opennet? Bear in mind that a paid system could have an interesting level of security - not quite up to that of a real darknet, but most attacks would be *far* more expensive.
When I say pay, I mean pay once, to create a node. You can then stay on opennet for as long as you like. And there'd be a fallback: Transient mode. Less anonymity, but it could still use tunnels. Significantly less performance. What paying to join opennet gets you (along with having some specified amount of bandwidth per peer), is the ability to be part of the *backbone*, i.e. the storage network. Hopefully the network would be somewhat faster because of the bandwidth requirements. And it would have proper tunnels. Straw poll, but thoughts welcome. Some of the technical details spelled out on the 1.0 proposal (http://piratepad.net/TQYpA3SDu7 ). No idea re legal issues. Existing users would likely be grandfathered in, for a limited period and subject to the same bandwidth requirements (and IP address requirements).
