Thanks Prayank. I think the next step for both of these proposals is to define an API. I thought about including that in the BIPs and decided it wasn't necessary yet to get the ideas across initially. Maybe when the APIs are defined they could go into the BIP, but it's probably better to have in a different document. I also agree with you on Tor.
As far as whether this should be a BIP or not, I wondered that same question. I think the BIP format is well defined and understood so I used it for this and the other BIPs that I'm currently working on like the incentivized moderation protocol which is mentioned in this BIP. There are a number of "Application" BIPs, which is why I decided it made sense. However, if it's decided there's a better format for these BIPs I'm open to it.
