Perhaps the solution will be that the Tor project team will study how to insert "anti-bad-people"chaff into the Tor streams, increase the number of hops
The number of hops is irrelevant because the tor network fails 'at the edges'. It doesn't matter how many times you bounce stuff inside the network since the traffic is 'correlated' when it enters/leaves the network.
(more to confuse the "bad people"; they confuse the hell out of me!), etc. Eventually, they will have to sadly announce that they haven't yet fully succeeded in preventing"bad people" from using Tor, but they HAVE greatly improved security in various ways.
What makes you think that military contractors for the US military(i.e. tor) have any interest in improving the security of the enemies of the US gov't/military? Tor works exactly as designed. It is a 'honeypot'. Jim Bell
