Even if that was true it would still take a long time to have large enough darknet pockets to provide meaningful protection against an attacker connected to all opennet nodes. And making darknet easier will not overcome the other problems: Most people can't run Freenet 24x7 even if they wanted to, or can't afford to, and most people don't want to run Freenet at all, even if their friend urges them to. It's a goal we should strive for, because if we get viral growth then we probably get exponential growth. But it requires a very high density at least within specific sub-communities. > 4) Talk about the things which already work well. Definitely a good thing, and my congratulations for your doing so on your blog etc. But this all started with a thread complaining that we'd added an FAQ entry saying at least one police force can break opennet Freenet and we're not doing anything about it and darknet isn't an acceptable answer. I hope we achieve a global f2f darknet. I doubt it's possible without at least a long intermediate stage during which mostly smallish darknet pockets are linked by opennet. > > Best wishes, > Arne
