It could eliminate so much troubles if the installer let you choose
graphically a valid JDK in the fist window, like Netbeans installer.

 I'd say that he installed sun's JVM but didn't choose to use it with
 java-update-alternatives. He never answered my question on that point.

 He just kept saying my JVM is good.

[freenet-support] Darknet Question .... and some other fundamental Qs

[Benjamin Hecht]

When using Darknet, are requests forwarded by friends that are not
friends of your node?

For example, if you are friends (via Darknet) with (person A) and
(person B). And (person B) is friends with (person C) via Darknet,
will a request from (person A) to (B) be forwarded to (C) if that
piece is unavailable at (B).

If it is, is it possible to disable this feature -- I guess in other
words, would changing maximum hops to 1 (if possible) prevent
searching Friends of Friends searching/downloading/pushing, etc.?

How does the untrusted peers model work in this context. (Friend to
friend, etc.)

Thanks,

BJH

 OK. You can uninstall Freenet simply by deleting the directory where it
 is installed. Once it is done, check the version of Java that you are
 using with a 'java -version'. You need Sun Java 1.5, at least.
 
Have tried that but it does not work, mozzila won't open a window it say
another example is running, and I need to shut it down, the kill command
wont work on the name firefox, and I've tried ps aux to find the pid,
but its not labeled as firefox so I can't kill the process

Cool. However I would point out that there is an entire industry dedicated to

Could you be a bit more specific? Were you using the graphical installer 
(new_installer.jar / the Java Web Start thingy) ? At what stage did you get 
what error message? A screenshot would be ideal...

If the uninstaller has been installed, use that to remove Freenet, otherwise, 
just delete the directory and try again.

Thanks.

Yes, I'm aware of the eGold mess et alia.  The anonymity of my payments to 
XeroBank via Dalpay is vulnerable to attacks on either and/or their 
relationship.  Although I do trust Dalpay based on what I've read about their 
mission , they are in Iceland, and so 
are relatively vulnerable to governmental pressure.  OTOH, Iceland did grant 
asylum to Bobby Fischer [;-)

But even if my anonymity at Dalpay is compromised, that yields only my XeroBank 
payment account number.  According to XeroBank, that doesn't reveal my XeroBank 
access account number (and vice versa).  Of course, I'm pretty sure that 
XeroBank could correlate the two accounts, especially if I paid Dalpay via 
XeroBank's VPN (which I don't).

So, if Dalpay betrays me, I'm left trusting XeroBank.  It's problematic that we 
have no clue who's behind XeroBank.  That's part of XeroBank's security/privacy 
model.  Basically, I've decided to trust Steve Topletz, and to trust that he 
wouldn't be part of XeroBank if it were evil, or clueless and vulnerable.

I trust Steve based on what I've read by and about him.  He has an 
apparently-impeccable reputation re cDc, Hacktivismo, Tor and so on.  Given his 
long association with security experts and privacy advocates, it's arguable 
that he would have been outed long ago if he were working with the FBI, NSA, 
KGB or whatever. Although Tor started as a US Naval Research Laboratory 
project, it's totally open source now, and so any back doors would arguably 
have been discovered.  Perhaps one could hide code in other code via encryption 
and steganography, but that seems unlikely.

Anyway, I welcome any and all comments.
