Hello=2C I remember all the discussions about opennet vs. darknet with diff=
icult security issues causing the project to focus on darknet=2C and I am r=
eminded of my nagging questions by recent devl discussions.
I have concerns about darknet that maybe you folks have all figured out=2C =
but I don't recall it being mentioned anywhere=2C so perhaps you can explai=
n.
Many people obviously correlate the desire for anonymity for the desire to =
conduct 'illegal' behavior. Would I want to directly ask people I know if t=
hey run or if they would be willing to run a freenet node in a society wher=
e there may be a stigma associated with this?
What if a country makes running a freenet node illegal? Is it then more saf=
e to be connected to people you know? Is it more safe to approach the peopl=
e you know about it and risk getting turned in? Or when someone you know is=
caught operating a node=2C then they can confess about all the people they=
connect to=2C and whole groups of people can be caught at once.
I am wondering if opennet's inadequacies are inherent or if making it more =
secure is very hard. I'm just trying to imagine how the different concepts =
play out in various scenarios. I guess I just don't understand the reasonin=
g.
