    If you're going to let anyone onto the network, you may be letting undercover government agents onto the network.

    Let them. They still can't track you, and more nodes means more anonymity. Also, by requesting info they disagree with for whatever reason, they are helping to propagate it through the network.

    If you're going to transmit data from point A to point B, points A and B have to know something that makes the other unique among all possible points.

    Its called cryptography, in this instance signing. You don't need an ip or anything else besides the keys to verify the identity of the nodes.

    If you're going to make the network 100% anonymous and available, it'll get blocked by administrators afraid it will be abused, like Tor.

    Not so easy, there will be trusted links in a future version, allowing you access to the network as long as you can connect to one other node. It would also be trivial to make it look like https or similar (iirc).

    Utter crap. There is no way the system you describe can be anonymous. There are no technical docs on the site, and the instructions are vauge and unprofessional. It seems to be a run-of-the-mill VPN with some tricky configs and off the shelf software. Maybe you can sell it at Frys or Best Buy or wherever the ignorant windows users will think it sounds nice.
