It's been around for a few years, previously called "black belt tor" by Cav Edwards. We've had some interaction with Cav Edwards over the years, but nothing substantial. : Is the preference of high power nodes useful or does it have a bad : influence on the load balancing of the tor network like the Cloakfish : idea two years ago? TCP stacks and crypto overhead may be overloading "high performance nodes". If you only need 1KB/s for a xmpp chat session, no need to choose a high bandwidth relay when a lower performance one will do. I haven't tested it, but I wonder if over time (days, weeks, months) the performance usage profile of blackbeltprivacy is different than a stock tor client. -- Andrew pgp key: 0x74ED336B *********************************************************************** To unsubscribe, send an e-mail to [email protected] with unsubscribe or-talk in the body. http://archives.seul.org/or/talk/
