If you run a darknet node you get increased security, if you allow your friends to connect to your node as darknet connections, then you are helping your friends. As I said, anything beyond this is nothing more than a gimmick. > 2. It must be easy to add darknet connections. This is definitely a priority, but I see no reason for it to be a precondition. Darknet must survive on its own merits, if it can't, then so be it - but we shouldn't deny opennet to people just because we are afraid that people might use it. > 3.

That is a valid point, but I don't want it to become an excuse for eternal procrastination on opennet.
