and to StealthMonger's point about latest generation mix networks for
best privacy, why not instead focus on building low latency protocols
that are resistant to traffic analysis and confirmation?

make them datagram based; utilize user space stacks and latest
research.  solving the low latency datagram anonymity problem enables
existing usable private communication with the additional benefit of
endpoint and peer anonymity.

i believe this possible to make useful, even if never infallible.
certainly more possible than the odds of making truly scalable,
available, and _usable_ mix mailer networks and clients for the
masses.


most important: make this low latency infrastructure usable and cross
platform, so the implementations are easily adopted... like Napster
and BitTorrent back in the day. ;)
