It is not technically possible to implement Darknet connections without 
revealing IP addresses: The purpose of Darknet connections is to establish a 
direct Internet connection between you and your friend, and direct connections 
over the Internet work by using IP addresses.

We could of course hide it from the user interface, but that would only 
prevent inexperienced users from figuring out what the IP is. Anyone with some 
technical knowhow could figure it out using standard tools for network 
monitoring; or even standard Freenet tools for viewing raw data of Freenet ARK 
addresses.

If you are concerned that your friend is malicious enough towards you to 
attack you using your IP, perhaps reconsider whether you trust this person to 
be a friend :(
