The problem w/ the mix chains is being sparesly discussed on the remailer-operator list (see enclosed email below).
The problem under discussion on the remailer-operators list is different from the problem mentioned on the CDR. The latter question is, Why are there only five useful remailers on publius.net's Mixmaster list? The answer to that question is on the page itself (http://www.publius.net/mixmaster-list.html): the keyring was last updated *199 days* ago. Comparing publius statistics to other Mixmaster statistics sources (http://www.eskimo.com/~turing/remailer/stats/db/mlist.html) shows that publius is the only statistics (stats) source to list several remailers, doesn't list a dozen remailers that a majority of other stats sources include, and lists many remailers at 0.00% reliability (as noted on CDR). In short, publius is out of date. A recent list of stats sources is available on the comparison page cited above, or in the alt.privacy.anon-server FAQ on anonymous remailer use section on statistics (http://www.eskimo.com/~turing/remailer/FAQ/faq.5.html). Particularly relevant to the questions on CDR ("Why are half the remailers down...?" and "Is there a better list?") are these FAQs: Where can I find stats pages? http://www.eskimo.com/~turing/remailer/FAQ/faq.5.html#3 Why are there dead remailers on the stats pages? http://www.eskimo.com/~turing/remailer/FAQ/faq.5.html#4 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGPfreeware 6.5.8 for non-commercial use <http://www.pgp.com> iQEVAwUBOqW2hTzxF7DEd0ehAQHklwgArk5pIo6D/mpREWDellh/v6EDUakYOa6d Vh7tIod46MHpWQdvDl2C0PYjUdQodh24gaz2lttclRsGJ4e5E3v8cQdw5OkWOmUS GoEfrgFro1C9D3LGlPuB1n0gLjVniQci4/8xrY8VB3VXrRLEy7gLLY1+ZND1Ln9Q 8/JDzoMIjEUSL1E+9/CGEh/CItvdrGDwDHlE848+G8dFBy857IGQQ+9V9rsHgjMG gHleUE/t1/xceJt0/26iDn5LXulArWyw7+nGkvS476tpyD3MJr2121mUn8d2JGHa KMNOURyI+5rs2WZjvMrQSNV7mrIm3Mb2eTH3ZMVQxLHugtzs7YqBrA== =3QcO -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Computer Cryptology RSA Fingerprint = 2476BB9C15F3612778C53A87F915CA1D
