That's open for discussion. I just wanted to define the user view - the way it's done is another matter. The underlying philosophy behind the config program is that someone can click 'ok', and be guaranteed a working node (provided they're not in China). If they want to change store size and location, fine - if not, they can accept defaults. On the 'Advanced Settings' tab, the seednodes file defaults to 'ALL.REF'. This file can be loaded with a set of 24/7 permanent nodes - I'm happy for mine to be included. One problem with downloading from freenetproject.org is the blocks already imposed on that domain in China, perhaps Saudi Arabia and many other countries. So the question of seed node sources is outside the scope of NodeConfig.exe, and is left to the installer writer. Just stick whatever into ALL.REF, and all will be fine. > In this case we should make that more clear and tell > the user that it really is preferrable get them from a trusted friend > (both for security and network reasons). Agreed - that is preferable. I could insert a tab after 'Basic Settings', titled 'Gain Access'. This tab could urge the user to get a node ref from a trusted source, and only allow a fallback to the inbuilt refs as a last resort.
