Your FAQ says that you're using "modified versions of FreeNet, Tor, PGP and software of our own design." This is a perfect time to share your modifications to Tor with the rest of us; if they're good, we'd like to include them in the main distribution. If they're bad, we'd like to be able to warn you before some poor dissident gets thrown in jail. Generally, keeping your design and source code secret before public is not a good idea; at least two Tor-related projects I can think of that have done this have had significant flaws exposed after their initial release. yrs, -- Nick Mathewson
