-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Hi intrigeri,
this actually *is* a complementary approach to another one. :D The "another one" is the DNS solution you currently use. You could, for example, use the named server JavaScript idea *and* let it fall back to dl.amnesia.boum.org. The POC does exactly that. :) Example DNS configuration: dl.amnesia.boum.org - with 25 A records tormirror.dl.amnesia.boum.org - with a CNAME or A record another.dl.amnesia.boum.org - same here; this one is also one of the 25 yetanother.dl.amnesia.boum.org - etc. etc. [unlimited amount of other mirror names] As even the Tor Browser Bundle has javascript enabled by default,[1] I think the number of people who will use the fallback will be quite low. It is not meant to be a complete replacement for DNS. I also think that we don't really *want* to completely replace DNS, because one day, tor-resolve might work as it should, and then we could switch back to it. This JavaScript fix is - in my opinion - the best, easiest, and (to quote the inofficial blueprint goal) most straightforward solution available. And it is done, it is here, it works.^^ Best regards, Tobias Frei [1] https://www.torproject.org/docs/faq#TBBJavaScriptEnabled (I have now disabled digests again; didn't think about the problems that digests cause with replies.
