I don’t think people contributed or donated for that. Also, and I agree with earlier complaints about that, a research project does not need an auto-updater, content-filters, support for websites, forums, a full-fledged client-protocol, and so forth. I say it so clearly, because I think that calling Freenet a research project is harming the project. Either we’re a research project, then we can strip out most of the features in Freenet, tell our users that we don’t care about them and let Freenet be replaced by the newest results of sensor network research, or we’re a project which aims at providing the technical foundation for freedom of the press, then we need to make Freenet easy to use und robust, and we need to know and communicate for whom it can already provide reasonable security. > The problem with darknet is that Freenet is not socially acceptable > and is technically challenging (it effectively requires a dedicated > always on system), and currently is slow and inconvenient.

Technically challenging can be solved by making it easier to join — all that is documented in the bugtracker. For *more* socially acceptable we need more actively spidering indizes which only include what the creator deems acceptable (nerdageddon does not count since it does not spider itself). However, Freenet as “if you want to avoid censorship, no one must be able to censor” is pretty acceptable. > I have no idea what you mean by "node pinning". I guess it could be either reconnecting through old opennet peers, or reusing the same seednode. Both would make it harder to start new attacks against opennet users (as in “it would make it slower”). Best wishes, Arne
