Those who don't search the or-talk archives are condemned to repeat
them. :)
Check out the march 2005 archive at
http://archives.seul.org/or/talk/Mar-2005/threads.html
and the thread called "exit node only server."
In particular, I talk a bit about why you don't really mean
tit-for-tat, and why it's hard, and why you might want to do it anyway
in http://archives.seul.org/or/talk/Mar-2005/msg00031.html
and http://archives.seul.org/or/talk/Mar-2005/msg00030.html
Paul Syverson offers an important reference at
http://archives.seul.org/or/talk/Mar-2005/msg00032.html
And be sure to check out the rest of the thread too!
Hope this is interesting,
