Unfortunately freenet's umpteen other securities don't stand up to their hype, at least, not before premix routing. :( > > Unfortunately, the only incentives I can think of come in terms of > crippling opennet in some way: Preferred routing to darknet nodes, > bandwidth tokens that are handed out twice as fast to darknet nodes, etc., > and I doubt that's the way to go, especially since it would almost > certainly lead to iFreed/Ubernode style pseudo-darknet networks in the long > run, to overcome said limitations. Preferentially routing requests FROM darknet nodes is sensible; you trust your friends more than random guys on the street. This can of course be modulated by a per-peer trust setting.
