 Ol> useful or abuseful ...

Well, I think useful - and I'm taking the glass half full approach.

If the "operator" was abuseful, would you still want to be part of the network?

I dont think it is any different to somebody twitlisting you out, or even more,
 firewalling you out.

This is not a public service, its a hobby with hobbiests. If the main
hunchperson has morals that you dont agree with, then I'd figure you wouldnt
want to be part of the group anyway...

Anyway, the glass half full approach, to me it means it becomes a network of
known (trusted?) individuals (you apply, your application is accepted, you are
authorised to connect to the network), and by definition "strangers" are out.
(Strangers being script kiddies who take fun out of denial of sevices and other
 activities to bring down a service.)

 Ol> So it's a public overlay network, but is there a way to put the node's
 Ol> zeronet address in the nodelist? Like a .onion or .i2p address? I found

It becomes a regular resolvable IP address - except the network "would"
(should) be made up of non routable addresses - it would just need a resolver
(ideally in the network, but doesnt have to be), that resolves endpoints.

In TQWnet, Meatlotion has a sub domain zt.erb.pw - where all the ZT nodes are
in the zt.erb.pw domain. The nodelist then has their fully qualified zt.erb.pw
hostname - and we are using IPv6 addresses (fd00:..).

 Ol> this project which uses ztaddr and nwid directly to connect to nodes:
 Ol> https://nanomsg.github.io/nng/man/tip/nng_zerotier.7#_uri_format

Now this looks interesting - it looks like coms outside of the IP stack. I
wouldnt mind having a play with this - but it'll be a while before I can think
about looking at this - and I'd have some learning to do.
