I think the way to be successful here is to first make a killer app that uses the stack. Then since it's wildly successful and the framework is open can gain adoption for other applications.

This. 1000 times THIS! They have so many cool bits of tech, but somehow managed to never have any of them however small evolving to be a killer app.

Exactly, I have been hopping they really go after DNS replacement. There system is quite elegant.

But I have long ago stop believing something practically usable will ever come from GNUnet.
