Hmmm I could begin design of a freenet app that could securely distribute a
process amonst app nodes.
But the key here is to make freenet as powerful and impenatrable as
possible. And for this, the node protocol would be the safest route.
But certainly I could attempt to prove concept with a free net app to
distribute a process securely and anonymously.
thx for the input
