And, when somebody writes code worthy of being ubiquitous and easy-to-use, there's nothing the market will be able do to "repress" it, either. Prove it. You could use a few extra million dollars, couldn't you?
'tis a paradox, Mr. Fermi. Care to figure it out?

Yes, and until the mixmaster nodes start to *charge* anonymous digital gold tokens for routing, and lets nodes gets into competition with each other to create a robotic free market, the Internet will be a baby eaten alive by Mighty Big Brother and mixmaster will be overrun by the tragedy of the commons... Big Fat Hint: The above (pay for traffic nodes) will result in spam free untraceable email, robotic economically viable self extending wireless networks, Voip thats really secure and high quality, DDoS proof Internet, private p2p markets for commodities, stocks etc... etc. Now, if there are investors out there... speak up. The alternative Internet provided "for free" is the biggest boon to big government, ever! (well, almost... after fiat money). "Capitalist" $$investors are about to be eaten alive by fiat money that is not theirs which they soon cannot move... The clampdown will be, heh, SWIFT (sic). I spoke about this at HOPE6, I don't know if more than a couple of people in the audience even got an inkling of what the hell I was talking about. If they did, and are busy producing code, more power to them. Best regards, ---Venkat.
