Re: [tor-talk] Need a stable .onion address hosted by the Tor project.

Hi,

I believe you should not trust just 1 .onion address, there are latency 
problems, AS problems, circuit congestion, I believe much more.

You should compile a list of different public .onion addresses hosted in 
different AS/countries and try them in a round robin way.

cheers.
