I have never ever characterized Freenet as being anything other than in development. If you don't like the fact that Freenet is taking so-long to perfect, then either help, or use Earth Station 5 - I hear its great.
You never said anything to this effect when people started putting things in the network that could get them sent to prison so it was rather implicit.
And now after finding that fred is unable to open /dev/random on my system due to what appears to be a bug (opening for write instead of read) I am now worried about the security of the encryption due to lack of entropy. I'm glad I don't use freenet for anything illegal/unpopular but I'm quite worried for those who do.
On IIRC a new channel #fredisdead has been receiving quite a bit of interest (along with discussions on #anonymous and #freenet). It appears that a small group of developers, fed up with the recent spate of Freent problems has decided to take a step back, to release 692 and have started a revolt. http://mids.student.utwente.nl/~mids/freenet/fid.html steve --------------------------------------------------------------------- The Cryptography Mailing List Unsubscribe by sending "unsubscribe cryptography" to majordomo@metzdowd.com
