The current Tor infrastructure doesn't have a mechanism rewarding Tor server operators for the resources they donate, which results in unusable network quality because there are too many leeches. The only way to for Tor to become mainstream is to become usable. The easiest way to achieve this is to build a network of privately owned servers by independant operators in diverse jurisdictional compartments who mutually compensate themselves by traffic peering and charge users for access to the network which covers the server operation costs. Extending Tor to include prestige tracking and agoric load levelling is a much better approach, but also much harder. It's designed for anonymity, not pseudonymity, and EFF no longer supports the project financially (if you're not running a Tor server, sending a donation to the developers is highly encouraged). -- Eugen* Leitl <a href="http://leitl.org";>leitl</a> http://leitl.org ______________________________________________________________ ICBM: 48.07100, 11.36820 http://www.ativel.com 8B29F6BE: 099D 78BA 2FD3 B014 B08A 7779 75B0 2443 8B29 F6BE
