I agree. If a network like this is going to be of any real use, it needs to be able to provide functioning anonymity even if many (or most) nodes are controlled by an attacker. Because that'll be without any question exactly what will happen quite quickly once any decent system picks up some speed. There really is some formidable opposition to a free and decent web nowadays.

I'm not even entirely happy with the concept of complete anonomity. It enables quite horrifying behavior. Unfortunately, I can't think of any way to make a system usable for those who would use anonymity for legitimate reasons and at the same time exclude those who enjoy child porn or want to hire someone to kill their spouse.
