Yes. You can subscribe to a USK from FCP, however the USK polling code does not work well if you start from many editions behind; you will have to save the current version on shutdown and start from there when you restart. > 2) all objects publish a subscription file that can be used to say whether > they are interested in any other object or not. > 3) on creating/updating an object the publisher node effects a search that > identifies the nodes that are interested in receiving it By fetching a file? > 4) the object fremails these node the updated version In my experience Freemail isn't terribly reliable. In any case it relies on polling USKs - you probably want to just poll the USKs. :| > 5) on updating an object that it does not maintain (i.e. that was created on > other node, that is maintaining it on the net) a node fremails the updated > version to the maintaining node.

You could share the private key between different nodes, but then you need to be careful that they don't interfere with each other... Freenet will try to prevent collisions, but this is not 100% certain especially if the network is fragmented. > > Thanks in advance > Berto > > -- > ============================== > Constitution du 24 juin 1793 - Article 35. - Quand le gouvernement viole les > droits du peuple, l'insurrection est, pour le peuple et pour chaque portion > du peuple, le plus sacr? des droits et le plus indispensable des devoirs. > -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
