Re: (micro)payments for anonymous routing in Tor?

If people are complaining about slowness > now, then why would anyone want to add to the overhead? The total > throughput of the tor network would not be increased by a priority system, > and it's conceivable that it might be decreased a bit due to the extra > overhead, especially where that overhead incurs extra network traffic. The network overhead is pretty small. Payments are only sent every N packets, not every packet, and the number of extra bits needed for the coins is not excessive. It's possible as you say that the total throughput might not be increased by this incentive scheme, but I think that is unlikely. More people would probably run relays if they got something in return (whether that is money or faster access, which are sort of interchangeable here) > uniformly distributed. Servers with published peak data rates > greater than, for example, 4,000 KB/s are very few in number. Such a "paid" > system would essentially guarantee that the traffic of operators of those > servers would have a high priority all the time because they would be unlikely > ever to use much of their accumulated credit. That means those folks could > download huge files, always at a high priority, which might make their traffic > more identifiable as being possibly/probably their traffic. Actually, I think that the issues of reduced anonymity/higher speed and whether you run a relay or not are directly related. Nothing forces a relay operator to use the faster bandwidth that is accumulated by his relay if there is a fear that it will make him less anonymous. Alternatively, he might wish to take it out in the form of a monetary payment (instead of faster service). Similarly, a client could get super fast access by paying, and so the partitioning actually breaks the set of users into those going for speed, and those striving for more anonymity (as opposed to clients vs server operators). However, you are right that, depending on how this was implemented, it could partition the network into fast/slow user sets that might make it easier for some attacks. > Frankly, at this point I don't think such a system of "payment" for > relay priority is worth the cost in either development time and effort or > anonymity and prospective user discouragement. Many of the people in this > world who have the greatest need for the benefits of a system like tor are > also the people least likely to be able to run a relay without fear of > harassment or worse from the states that rule them. I think that people would contribute unpaid bandwidth to the network for the same reason that they do now (altruism), especially if it were the default setting (how many people really change the defaults?). However, I see the incentives (bandwidth/monetary) as important to get lots more people using Tor in the first place, which would hopefully increase the total amount of free/unpaid bandwidth available through the network. > The tor developers have, I believe, far more urgent matters to deal > with than creating a priority system, and I don't think any priority system > design has yet been shown not to have potential negative effects on the tor > community. I agree 100%. I'm not at all proposing that the developers add this in to Tor, they definitely have more important things to be working on right now. But I think that this kind of work is important for further into the future--incentives (whether they are monetary or performance-related) are going to be crucial to scaling the Tor network. And scaling the network is important for everyone's security. Without wide adoption of Tor, there are a lot of attacks that are very easy against the network, and the lack of public understanding and recognition makes it more likely that Tor could suddenly become illegal in more and more countries. So, I just think that scaling is going to be very important, and we should be thinking about what that will entail now, so that we can start thinking and planning for it. Thanks for the comments everyone. - Josh ----- End forwarded message ----- -- Eugen* Leitl <a href="http://leitl.org">leitl</a> http://leitl.org ______________________________________________________________ ICBM: 48.07100, 11.36820 http://www.ativel.com http://postbiota.org 8B29F6BE: 099D 78BA 2FD3 B014 B08A 7779 75B0 2443 8B29 F6BE

FC: Bombastic conservative demands that DOJ censor usqueers.com
by Declan McCullagh 06 Jul '18

06 Jul '18

The usqueers.com page in question: http://www.usqueers.com/commentary/die_soon.html Excerpt: >Ronald Reagan, ex-President, deserves to experience a horrible death soon, >and is getting what he deserves. We're listing him as wounded because the >way he is dying is horrible (Alzheimer's) and irreversible, even if he >isn't aware of it anymore, and not soon enough we will happily add him to >our Good Riddance! section. Attorney John B. Thompson, who wrote the letter to DOJ, has a fascinating history of, for instance, reportedly attacking CBS over what he viewed as threats the network's comedy show made on the life of George W. Bush: http://www.freerepublic.com/forum/a3992e0b40d02.htm Thompson wrote a letter to FCC complaining about Howard Stern: http://www.cluebot.com/articles/01/09/14/2010224.shtml >a special tip-of-the-hat to [Thompson] who, in the face of the death of >thousands of Americans, has taken time out of his busy schedule to >petition the FCC to censor Howard Stern, whom he terms a 'child molestor' >and 'pornographer'. It's nice to know some people have their priorities >straight. I'm not sure why CNSNews.com would call Thompson a "prominent First Amendment lawyer." He seems to be a prominent 1A lawyer in much the same way that Louis Freeh was a prominent privacy advocate. In his email below, David Burt is talking about when the ACLU's Oregon affiliate (not the national ACLU) filed an amicus brief arguing that a federal judge close the Nuremberg anti-abortion site (http://www.politechbot.com/p-01860.html) -Declan ---
