What is the idea with:

Local Peer

Trust List Trust Comment

Insertion boxes and the "Set" button, on the message board?



[freenet-support] how to use fms - the freenet message system

If Eliza has replied that means that technically everything has worked. Solve a 
few captchas (as you probably already did) and wait, after a while on the FMS 
web interfact your identity should say 'Yes' in the announced column, that 
means 
that at least one person whose trust list trust you trust trusts you.

To put simply WoT works like this:
You can trust people if you trust that they will not send you spam messages.
You can trust people's trust lists (trust list trust) if you believe that they 
will mark down spammers, but will not mark down those who you don't consider 
spammers.

There's really no way to make the system simpler, and personally i don't like 
it 
(but that's another story).

Trust some well established identities' trust list trusts, and pretty soon you 
should see messages coming through in FMS, then hopefully you will start 
figuring things out. And remember Freenet is a high latency network, don't 
expect to get replies (or even see your own messages appear) instantaneously. 
give everything time.

[freenet-support] A few questions from a newbie

Why FreeNet grew - that the 0.7 version is a significant improvement.

I only use the stop and restart Freenet options in the Ubuntu 
application menu.  So running FreeNet then only grants privelages in 
line with the logged in user.  That sounds pretty safe to me (no system 
access) although I would still prefer to create a dedicated restricted 
user just to be sure.  But if I am going to do this, I should do it for 
all P2P applications such as rtorrent and aMule.  If anyone knows of any 
resources to guide me on this, please let me know.

  I am asking my question like this, so other fms newbies can also learn

  Thanks in advance.

 Hi,

 I'm only replying off list because i'm attaching a large file, feel free to
 respond back on the list.

 This is a video file that somebody has graciously put together in order to
 help people to set up FMS with thunderbird.

Thanks, THANKS a lot, that helped.

I have sent a message to the test board, but I only see a message from some 
eliza*, which says the ackbot has received my message, but my message is 
not on the board - what am I supposed to do to get my real message on the 
board (I cannot understand the peer trust/acknowledge thing)?  :-)
