There has to be more crypto anonymizing aliasing remailers and with easier interfaces. Closing the Kleinpaste derived server will help put the pressure of demand to start better remailer systems. There's not enough capacity and reliability with the servers extant. There should be thousands of full featured remailers.
Exactly. Sometimes *all* the nymservers are down at the same time.
Well, I just designed a nymserver that's probably more complicated and difficult to use than any previous one. From this experience, I have concluded that if you want to design a remailer with real security (as opposed to a penet-style server), it just won't be easy to use that remailer manually. Even alpha.c2.org was kind of a pain to use manually. I therefore think in the long run it's better to bite the bullet, write as secure a nym server as possible, and expect that people will use special client software to use the remailer. Incidentally, if anyone else wants to run another nym.alias.net-style remailer, the code is available and I'd be glad to help anyone set things up if that person is serious about running a nymserver.
