I have been (or rather pretended to be) careful about sending my node information only to people I "know and trust" (which simply meant "were willing exchange node refs in private chat rather than in full view of the world"). I could also set up two nodes, one at school and one at home, both with the same Frost identity. My initial connections are from school but I only use trusted connections at home --- and I can very tightly control who gets my home node info. If there's a security/anonymity hole in the plan I've laid out, please tell me. The alpha darknet is not too early to start thinking about realistic connection procedures. --Joel _______________________________________________ chat mailing list [email protected] Archived: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.freenet.general Unsubscribe at http://emu.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/chat Or mailto:[email protected]?subject=unsubscribe
