Comment (by nickm):
To a first approximation: you should make 3 hops ''of your own''. So,
when the last hop is one that somebody else picked, you should pick 4
hops, so that there will be 3 hops that you picked.
I think this occurs:
* when a hidden service client connects to an introduction point (which
the hidden service picked)
* when a hidden service itself connects to a rendezvous point (which
the client picked).
* when a hidden service or a hidden service client connects to the
hidden service directory (which is determined by the current date and the
HS public key)
(The above is from memory; if the code disagrees with me, I might be
wrong!)
