Dan,
The 9 servers are operated by Chaum, and is the software and OS config open source and 3rd party verifiable as being the same as running on the servers?
9 servers will be operated in 9 different jurisdictions, not by 9 separate unrelated 'entities'.
'Trust us' is just something we've become accustomed to not needing.

With respect, the stripping involved requires unanimity amongst the
nine sites, each much different than the other. If one is to dismiss
Chaum's scheme due to the possibility of 9-way unanimous collusion,
then, in like manner, all threshold (split-key) cryptosystems are
unacceptable. And then there is the DNS where the possibility of
collusion amongst all root servers would also trigger disavowal of
the DNS.
I'm probably missing your point.
