New description:
I was testing the new 0.0.8alpha1 server on laforge. To my
understanding a message should pass at least three nodes to ensure my
anonymity. I wanted to test the laforge node, so I sent the messages
with -P laforge,~2 ( send the message through laforge and about two
other nodes). As you can see in the output below the mixminion client
selected to send my message through laforge and use laforge a a swap
point. So the message will only go through 1 node. In my opinion the
~<number> option should calculate a minimum number of nodes so a
message will go through at least three nodes. I have verified the bug on
windows and FreeBSD, and I assume that the bug exists on all platforms.
D:\mixminion\Mixminion-0.0.7.1>mixminion.exe send -t
