Crate Deployment Guide
From The Nethernet Wiki
Crates allow you to leave TNN items throughout the web. You can put Data Points (DP), Portals, Lightposts, Crates, Armor, St. Nicks, Watchdogs, Mines, Grenades, or Skeleton Keys in a crate.
When you deploy a crate a message is left on the TNN website. This can work two ways. If you want someone to pick the crate up right away (and perhaps visit the site where you deployed the crate) you can put the crate on the site's main page. If you place the crate within a site (not on the main page) the user might stumble across the crate (passively) or they could go searching the site just for the crate. You should consider this when you deploy your crate.
If you choose you can use the embedded crate on the same page, with the same or different contents. Using crates will boost your Benefactor rating within TNN.
If you post a crate on a user's page on TNN only the page owner can loot the crate. This is how you leave items for your allies. It is also possible to stash crates on imaginary web pages. This is one way to protect your data points from mines, but of course you have to pay for the crates you use.
Crates can only contain 1000 dp and 10 Tools.
