I asked the devs directly (or someone else did, can't remember for sure), and the reason came back "our funding proposals for this feature have never been approved" - which makes sense, since the CIA, DIA, DOD and NSA fund the creation of the Tor network, they don't want to fund features which make it much harder for them to uncloak users they are targetting.
Maybe funded, as in past tense. The current Tor project is not dependent at all on US government funding that I can see.
Shawn you're a funny lad - a little too transparent for your own good but hey, that's better from my perspective :D
If you can prove otherwise, please post the proof.
Oh please! Awesome - I love this in the morning, makes for a really happy day which I know is pre-laced with humour unseen by the one delivering the punch lines. Gold :)
Your transparency is causing me to not stop chuckling. Juan is sharper than I and he spotted you ages ago.
Yes, Juan is. You're a moron.
You're evidently a deeply nuanced intellectual.
Or something ...
You're a smarmy dictator & death squad loving little gullible twit who believes or pretends to believe some really noxious shit. Send some more updates on the holohoax and some Russian propaganda - you know, what you mostly send, and what no one wants to see, or replies to. ;) You're a joke. Or something....
The nice thing about free software is anyone can add those features, or pay for them to be added. So even your non-government or non-US programmers can change the code and run their own custom version of Tor. The features you mention don't even break compatibility with the rest of the network, so that's not an issue.
Thank you for reiterating part of my email with which we evidently agree on.
Have a great day - mine started out fabulous :D Z
