What networks ultimately do, whether they are "for" voice,
Components of software are supposed to be reuseable, which is one of its
efficiencies. Of course, if there is some sort of flaw already present,
reusing it adopts the flaw. Nevertheless, I suspect that it is more valuable

A general purpose network sounds nice. Everything is doable.
What do you think of forking the codebase of an existing network, like tor
or gnunet or one of the newer examples from anonymity research?

Algorithm-agnostic anonymization network.
Let's say we are agreed that a new anonymization network should be implemented.
One problem is that advances in such networks generally require implementing
entirely new networks to check out new algorithms and new features, such
improvements are
That sounds cool. Let's design and build it.

They are, your ISP rate or physical link speed already
serves as max rate, or go test set a lower rate in your
packet filter, things work fine, just slower.

Okay, so what should I actually do? I didn't suggest this project intending
to make the decisions by myself, alone. I figured I might be one of dozens of

At this point, I see the main impediment is finding somebody with the

A $ hardware offering / reference setup is nice.
And not excluding any possible donation / subsidy models.
Though by keeping x86 compatible port, and bootable via USB / cd,
many people have old computers can be repurposed to the
