(Sorry for the long delay in answering this, we've been a volunteer-only project for the past >6 months. No employees to be forced to reply to mails...) What is "safe" depends on who you think might be attacking you. In theory, people who are capable of intercepting your mails could replace your noderef with their own and thus intercept your Freenet traffic. This is called man-in-the-middle attack: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Man-in-the-middle_attack Of course this is a bit complex to do and thus will probably only happen if someone is actively trying to hack you, such as a government. So if you don't feel like the government is interested in you personally, use mail. Otherwise use an USB stick.
