If there are not many people (somewhat verifiably, to protect against
most operators being the same agent) running your code, of what use
is it?
I'm all for DC-Nets which implement the Pfitzmann fixes, but the fact
that you haven't advertised tells me it's not likely enough
independent users (N) are using your code to make it interesting to
study.
I therefore encourage you to either tell us a lot more about your
code, your assumptions, etc., or to fade away.
