Like that one-degree of separation is comforting...
Just wondering ... in a life & death situation (say, blackmailing att.
general), what would be the choice of readers of this forum:
a) use mixmaster remailer from their home/business/friend.
b) use an internet cafe
c) use an open wireless AP

I agree, although I fail to see how working on this would interfere with
that goal in any way.
I'd like to suggest that while this may be fun, usability and getting
millions of users to see that remailers are useful to them is a more
useful goal. The anonymity set provided by the current extant
systems is too small to protect anyone against anyone who is willing
to kill or disapear people
Operating an anonymity service or providing privacy enhancing
technologies to the public poses potential risks to the provider if
sufficiently motivated entities wish to prevent the availability of such
technology.
In particular danger are individuals whose meatspace identity and nyms are
not pub
