in thread Can I adopt a node?

Fair enough - thanks for the suggestions about finding the nodes again.

In case you log the IPs one could imagine a scheme where a node could be adoped when it is claimed within (say) 10 minutes from a user coming from the same IP - but I would not consider that an urgent feature :-)

    Which would suck for somebody who prefers to remain anonymous when posting from work / school. Even if she doesn't have a co-worker who takes control of her postings (since most from-work internet connections go through a NATting firewall) she might not even want her co-workers to be able to tell that the posting came from the same place of work.

      Sure - it would certainly not be foolproof (but then it would not have to be as being able to claim an anonymous node is not such a big deal).

      And I certainly did not mean that the IPs should be world-visible.

      But evidently I have not really thought too much about it - just forget about it.
