You are right. But this approach does not work well for mailing lists, like frost boards or feedback indexes. (If you just want private mail accounts, then anonymous remailers may be better anyways). If you wanted to post to a new list, then you would have to wait until the owner of the index reads in your KSK and publishes your name on a list of posters so that other people start polling your outbox. With HCKs a new user can post messages immediately. If you post a feedback message for a free site like "Page XYZ on your site trips the anonymity filter.", other people can fetch it and do not send duplicate bug reports in. > > 3) If the owner of the key index trusts an other identity, > > he can send him a rebate ticket that disburdens him from part of > > the hash cash calculation.

See the archives. It does not scale. If you put the devl-list onto freenet some day, then I would have to poll hundrets of outboxes instead of just one inbox. Would there be different outboxes for different receivers, or would I have to fetch all the mails from every person? -- Thomas Leske _______________________________________________ devl mailing list devl at freenetproject.org http://hawk.freenetproject.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/devl
