When I had it turned on for a little while it said something that indicated it had mix capability I don't remember what it was exactly. Is this because it was limited because I am only set as a relay? If I can not run an exit node do you think it is worth it for me to turn on mix and frag? My reasoning is that if I can not run a real exit node I might as well allow mixmaster delivery. On another note I have a question about the drop functionality. Is their a reason why drop always picks chains of the same length? It seems that a random selection of chain length would add a touch more traffic randomness. And finally I am beginning to write a paper that has something to do with the economics/costs of anonymous mail/traffic. Exactly what I am not sure yet. What is the best forum to ask for input? Here? Mixmaster devel? Or some other list? I need to write/research a topic for a telecomm class and do a economic/cost/game theoretic modeling of some aspect of communication. I was interested in the recent traffic analysis papers and think I am going to do something along those lines. Are there any open questions right now that I might be able to look into and aid the community? -- Douglas F. Calvert http://anize.org/dfc/ GPG Key: 0xC9541FB2
