Re: [tor-talk] Revoking a hidden service key

[Max Bond <max.o.bond@xxxxxxxxx>]

It seems like the only way this scheme could work is if the directories
remembered which services had issued revocations, making compromises
expensive for the whole network and opening the door for denial-of-service
attacks that effect hidden services as a whole.

I would counter propose that you set up a Twitter account which tweets
about the status of your hidden service, where you could make an emergency
announcement. Perhaps you could have a passcode required to enter the site
that changes on a daily basis and is announced from twitter, so that your
users get in the habit of checking twitter before logging in to your site.
