If you say that you have for the most part lost your datastore than you should do the change sooner rather than later. Personally i have changed after completely losing the whole store, as i had nothing to lose at the time, and i am very satisfied with the way salted-hash worked for me. -- http://freedom.libsyn.com/ Echo of Freedom, Radical Podcast http://eng.anarchopedia.org/ Anarchopedia, A Free Knowledge Portal http://freenetproject.org/ The Free Network project "None of us are free until all of us are free." ~ Mihail Bakunin _______________________________________________ Support mailing list Support@freenetproject.org http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.freenet.support Unsubscribe at http://emu.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support Or mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
