I don't understand why I'd have to attack the swapping algorithm, or why the number of connections is a problem. The idea is to split my darknet connections between two nodes - half my friends are connected to one node, half to the other. Then I create a chain of imaginary nodes between the two real nodes. The imaginary nodes are connected to one another and to my real nodes, but they aren't connected to anyone else, so I don't need a lot of friends. The imaginary nodes can all reside on the same computer, so bandwidth is not a problem. They execute the swapping algorithm faithfully. I can create any link distribution I like between the imaginary nodes - I'm guessing that by choosing the Kleinberg distribution, the swapping algorithm will cause the nodes to spread out in a chain rather than clumping together, so my two real nodes will move further and further apart. The question is, how much of the keyspace can I take up?
