" Our first modest suggestion is thus that existing mix networks for general internet use should simply be abandoned for other than research purposes. They should continue to be studied for there inherent interest. And, they should be used for applications where it is possible to manage and measure the sets of distinct users and anonymity providers and the probability distributions on their behaviors, voting being the clearest example. But for general internet use, they are overkill against almost every adversary except unrealistic ones like the GPA or incredibly strong ones like The Man. And, because of usability and incentive limitations, in practice they do not scale enough to protect against The Man anyway. " So much bullshit in a single paragraph 1) "continue to be studied for there inherent interest" THERE? Lawl, syverson doesn't know how to spell possesive pronouns like THEIR. 2) "adversaries...except unrealistic ones like the GPA" how is an adversary that can see a lot of traffic, 'unrealistic', when in actual FUCKING REALITY that kind of adversary does exist? 3) Ok, so scum-master syverson then half admits that mixnets should be used against 'the man'...except that... "because of usability and incentive limitations, in practice they do not scale enough to protect against The Man" so what scum-master is saying is that since the pentagon and the rest of americunt govcorp(syverson's handlers) are not promoting mixnets, then there are 'limitations' to them. Go figure! People dont use mixnets because the pentagon doesn't want people to use mixnets.
