I don't take issue with these particular nodes, nor the method in which they are multiplied.
What concerns me is that any single entity (person/organization) is capable of convincing my Tor client to use it in the majority of circuits I build. The clusters I pointed out before have been vouched for by the community, and that's fine, let's assume they're not evil. But the fact remains that nobody - good or evil - should be capable of making themselves a party in my circuit with such reliability. -- Theodore Bagwell torus...@imap.cc On Thu, 25 Nov 2010 14:46 +0100, "Olaf Selke" <olaf.se...@blutmagie.de> wrote: > On 25.11.2010 08:17, Damian Johnson wrote: > > The reason the operators of the largest tor relays (Blutmagie, > > TorServers, and Amunet) operate multiple instance is because this is > > the best way in practice for utilizing large connections. > > yep, all four blutmagie nodes are running on a single quad core cpu.
