Re: tor-mirrors (mirrors of the Tor Project website)
Hi, some mirrors are out of date. Example: http://mirror.onionland.org Tor stable is 0.1.2.17 and dev. is 0.2.0.9-alpha on this site. Thats not good support for torproject.org. May be, out-of-date-mirrors can be removed from http://www.torproject.org/mirrors.html.en ? Karsten N.

Re: Help Iranian dissidents
12 (?) or 15 months ago i ve asked the list to help people from iran with tor. I got no help. There were other questions help me, i can´ t login to google via tor or help me i can create a account with digg via tor. The questioners got their desired help. Thats dingy! Anyway, if the provider shuts down, the internet is down. Nobody needs help with tor if the internet is down. Right? That was or is the problem with some providers today in Iran. Regards.

Half the price, 32MB RAM, built-in wifi, support for 3g modems. IIRC, somebody already did a tor mod for the first version. A camouflaged case could be produced that would incorporate localized power connectors.

Any other countries really better? The rest of the EU either *has moved* or will be moving to the same direction, as much of the shit comes from/via the EU (e.g. data retention). The US have their own problems (e.g. DMCA, e.g. extra-legal surveillance, being de facto legalized in hindsight by an amnesty for the eavesdroppers, e.g. worse privacy protection laws to begin with).

However, for months now I'm thinking of reverting it to an exit node as the situation that everyone runs a middle node, but no one dares to run an exit node just lets TOR die. Hidden services will run very fine with only middleman and bridge nodes. Kind regards, Hannah.

I can't speak to the others, but for this one: On 06/24/2009 03:32 PM, Andrew Lewman wrote: Step 2) Wait for Tor Project to do the technical work. There could be at least four reasons: 1) they don't believe it. They're just throwing ideas at the wall, to see who will do free work for them. They wouldn't spend a dime of their own money to do it. 2) lack of capital They think it's a good idea, but don't have the funds to allocate/acquire the manpower to get it done. If only they were better at raising money they'd get it done. Summer of Code, perhaps other outlets for these folks? 3) ideological inefficiency They think it's a tor feature, Tor Project alone should do it, even if they have the capital and believe the business case. I trust in individual self-interest too much to believe this is real. 4) Confusion They'd do it themselves but it's not obvious what they need to do. Being opaque, they work on other things first.

Right. Most of these people are successful businessmen, some are even investors. They know how the hardware business works, just hoping to get us to do their engineering for free. This is a fine business model if you can get it to work. ;) 4) Confusion They'd do it themselves but it's not obvious what they need to do. Being opaque, they work on other things first.
