I have a problem with that. if big brother reads the email or IM, you 
disclose more by exchanging full references.

The initial connection should be easy to establish (small amount of data), 
by phone, snail mail or smoke clouds. the point here is that more people 
feel invited to try it out. where is the threat when you dont 
push "initiate connection"?

If the peers agree on that, the IP:port and one-time-password are 
exchanged. And on inital connecten the noderefs are exchanged.
