Replying to [comment:7 Sebastian]:
> subscription by nickname might still be worthwhile? It's all public
data, and I would be intrigued if someone registered a node under one of
the nicknames I "claim". Am I overlooking something?
It depends on how weather works. If you assume it *doesn't* email you as
long as nodes with your nicks are running, the adversary can take them
down and "hide" this fact from you.
Not very well hidden, but personally, I don't really care if I have to
paste an IP+Port into a box as opposed to my nick to ensure notification.
And obviously I wouldn't realize the consequences if given the choice, so
why give me the choice? :)
