it's called Okopipi. That name is only somewhat less silly, but the one
you've chosen has, uhm, seriously bad connotations in German, so let's
make sure no-one picks that one up accidentally. :)

You've said that in your other email too, and it's not that simple. The
question is whether a grassroots project like Okopipi, with too much
press coverage on top of everything, will manage to assemble the
resources in skills, finances, and manpower, to build one that is
actually DDoS-resistant.
A key aspect of BS's strategy, one that MJR carefully points out in his
write-up, was the human element in the loop. It was the bit that made
domain-hopping etc irrelevant because BS were supposedly only going
after the more stable actual sales channels. Okopipi's description is
very thin on this bit; in fact, I haven't managed to find anything
definitive in their wiki. Please someone correct me if I'm wrong.
Don't get this wrong -- reading that wiki I share doubts about this
project. I just don't think there's as much reason to think
categorically negatively of it as you suggest.
Cheers,
Christian.
