To avoid squashing the Tor network with all of these new clients, the
company would almost certainly have to run some big relays to help
compensate for the additional load. Another proposal would be some sort of
incentive for running relays.

Besides the fact that this could be a great opportunity for tor in many
ways I see two problems we should consider:
- this vastly growth would be "artificial". What happens to all the
users and servers if they stop supporting the product or close-down?
- IMHO it is a problem if the network exp

Broadcast a fraction of all available directories? Use md5 as a random
number generator, hash the ECC/RSA keys using md5. A
