Even regular E-Mail providers, G+ and Facebook did not find a way to get a significant number of users to pay — for a service which is clearly essential for todays communication. Why do you think people would pay for Freenet? People pay for VPNs because VPNs promise them faster, anonymous copyright infringement — I’ve seen the ads on torrent sites. The Freenet Project cannot promise that without encouraging copyright infringement — which we don’t. And our communication sucks — with this thread a perfect example of why it sucks. As much as I’m irked by the often toxic behavior of niqnaq: this is something he’s right on. We have an existing userbase. These users are our greatest asset. We might not like all of them, but at the same time there are many awesome people using Freenet. We’re neglecting them. We’re not doing the easy fixes. Instead we’re saying “let’s make you pay to keep using Freenet”. We need more people running Darknet, so why don’t we think of a way to secure Opennet via Darknet? Darknet connections are the only thing at which attackers don’t win trivially. And it might turn out that for funding, this pull request is the most important of them all: https://github.com/freenet/website/pull/28 Best wishes, Arne -- Celebrate with ye beauty and gather yer friends for a Pirate Party! → http://1w6.org/english/flyerbook-rules#pirate-party ←
