Go away. Mike specifically mentioned the idea of using Tor addresses, which are authenticated. In addition this mechanism to create a backbone *automatically* is exactly as decentralized as Bitcoin mining itself is. It has nothing to do with Google. I suggested the mechanism myself for slightly different reasons, and if you know me, you'd know I'm the first to jump on anyone pushing centralization. -- 'peter'[:-1]@petertodd.org 000000000000000517064a43348fa39325bdc244ffb1d0da11ab85676d494a85
