The earliest Freenet reference to using a content-hash is that I can dig up is this email to Freenet-dev in January 2001: http://marc.info/?l=freenet-dev&m=97941517228546&w=2 It suggests we were discussing this earlier than that, but unfortunately I can't find any archives from before then. But the cyperpunks reference trumps all of this, and also trumps the truenames patent unambiguously, great find :-) Ian. -- Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cell: +1 512 422 3588 Skype: sanity _______________________________________________ p2p-hackers mailing list [email protected] http://lists.zooko.com/mailman/listinfo/p2p-hackers
