I hope not — there is no reason to replicate the misguided packaging design of Tor project's various “bundles” elsewhere. > Regarding the addressing, why not use directly the .onion address? https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Protocol_specification#Network_address Unfortunately, this addressing scheme apparently cannot accommodate other anonymous networks, such as I2P, that uses 256 bits for its Base-32 addresses. > They represent in parallel: > - Routing information (providing a path to the destination) > - Proof of identity (owning the private RSA key) The .onion – IPv6 mapping is a bijection, the unique local IPv6 address represents the same information. It apparently even complies with the RFC, as .onion addresses satisfy the randomness requirement. -- Maxim Kammerer Liberté Linux: http://dee.su/liberte _______________________________________________ tor-talk mailing list tor-talk@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
