0,5 can be a solution if anonymity is not a primary concern. The reason why it's hard to find refs with 0,7 is to make it nearly impossible for somebody who wants to compromise your identity to find yours, with 0,5 your node shouts your reference to the whole world as soon as you start it... with no way to stop that. You can also check out I2P, it is quite nicely worked, but has slightly more compromising features than even 0,5 (such as it's easier to identify the person by analysing the timing of the availability of the resource). Anyhow, chose your options carefully.
