I had a look at the whitepaper - Claudia has outdone herself in 
describing a system which could maybe work - but, and I quote, "The 
specific algorithms and implementation details of each part of the 
system will be fleshed out in separate documents."

There is no proof, or even enough details, to show that it will or even 
could work. It's all sweeping statements and claims, backed up by - nothing.

Thing is, I don't trust Claudia to get it right (we have a history... ).



The loopix part looks interesting, at first glance. Though "a
measure of sender and receiver unobservability" is not exactly reassuring..
