And 10 years down when 20 bits is easy, you're going want shrinking it again, or along any interim update cycle. This is going to upset downstream parsers such as web indexers that expect matching fixed length / pattern. or that have to write zero [de]fillers. ex: [a-z2-7]{16}\.onion, we now see s

Hi, all! I've seen a couple of emails from people looking into new ways to do naming for onion services. That's great! Before anybody gets too far, I'd like to send this quick note to let you know that integrating stuff like this into Tor is actually easier than you think. Here's how you do it,

[tor-dev] prop224: zero bits in addresses

2016-08-02 Thread teor
