Wait - Wait - You don't have to be tricked into letting someone in. All
they
have to do is go to the IRC Chat and advertise they have freenet and want
to
exchange information with someone. Someone exchanges information with them
and they in. Or are you saying everyone who joined was tricked into
joining
Freenet in the first place?
For now that is true, they could just go on IRC and get connected but
I'm talking about in the long run and people who are way too cautious
to do something as silly as that. Anyway the IRC thing is just for
bootstrapping the main network the devs are trying to create. People
who want to have their own private darknets can easily do so too.
I get it, freenet is not a worldwide community (openet), it's a bunch of
private nets (darknets). Instead of growing to be huge like 0.5, 0.7 is
inherently made to be small, unless you want to advertise on IRC. For now,
my 'advertised on IRC' machine, is used for testing purposes only. Once
things are running I remove all of my connections and build my own darknet
of people I know and we use it as a private place to meet.
