Re: Dir server's rendezvous-service-descriptor's

[grarpamp <grarpamp@xxxxxxxxx>]

I was reading these two docs. They seemed to hint that such a thing
existed on the authoritative directories. As that seemed where the
HS nodes were uploading their descriptors/intro points to.  Thus
maybe a disk or control port query would exist for such records.
Or with some minor source change, could be logged upon receipt.

Step two: the hidden service assembles a hidden service descriptor,
containing its public key and a summary of each introduction point,
and signs this descriptor with its private key. It uploads that
descriptor to a set of directory servers.

Hmm, ok, I think I need to read these specs some more.  Well,
certainly some of the 581 are untrusted regarding your A) above.
Does each one hold a full list of the HS's out there? If DHT, no,
it would probably be an even subset distribution. I'd have to read
more.

I can't imagine that logging each HS onion name received would
present any risk to the net. But could provide a handy HS index.
