I would be the first to admit that Freenet does not offer real anonymity. I have never claimed it does. But trying to use a mixnet as a transport would not be the right way to try to make Freenet anonymous - you are much better off using the existing nodes to do a number of onion routed steps before you start Key routing. The amount of traffic that is currently being seen between Freenet nodes ought to be a wet dream for anybody wishing to hide anonymous transactions. Preliminary onion routing has long been one of the things on the "when everything else is working" list, and I think that is where it belongs. The only thing that the mixnet transport might give you is a measure of anonymity for the nodes - but the mixnet itself has nodes, so that is pretty pointless. PS The size of the routing table and the fact that they are dynamic makes your scenario pretty unlikely. PPS HTL 5 is too little. -- Oskar Sandberg oskar at freenetproject.org _______________________________________________ Devl mailing list Devl at freenetproject.org http://lists.freenetproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devl
