Good thing too provided the cost was acceptable. If you'd used 6 hops then halving it would get 3. > Roll out will be a key.

Ease of deployment is why I've arranged my code as I have. Remailers and clients don't need to update at the same time and anyone with the new client remains able to use all the remailers. You can always pick a 1024 remailer as a first hop if you don't want to be recognised as a user of the new software (assuming you downloaded it undetected). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Android is increasing in popularity, but the open development platform that developers love is also attractive to malware creators.
