Transient users don't need static or even real IP addresses. We could

I am firmly against that.
Contrary to the Internet as it is now, we are not a collection of transient users that
only use a couple
of centralized services, but we are all peers that should be able to both use and offer
services and make
connections in all directions.
That is what makes us different from ordinary internet users, and using dynamic or even
translated
addresses kills all that and makes the whole AMPRnet superfluous.
