[If this arrives twice, that's b/c the first one from nearly 3 hours ago did not arrive on the list.] Karl, your failure to fix your email client or to use a proper client, causes replying to your emails to involve annoying extra work every time: - no List-ID header, so I'm having to "reply all" and delete the other recipients, or to manually add the list address back in - duplicate emails from you, consistently Feel free to continue to burden those who would otherwise attempt to engage with you, but I'm almost out of tuits. I'll give it one more shot, in the hope that you will begin to use a proper email client. -------------------- Regarding the below, a quick yandex search brings up this: https://www.yandex.com/search/?text=%2Bchaff%20site%3Atorproject.org&lr=10145 .. Passive attacks are correlation based on observations. Do not underestimate this. With the NSA's fangs on literally every fiber optic cable and in every exchange they can weasel into, GPA. They are difficult to defeat unless you are filling the network with fill traffic such that they can't tell wheat from chaff. Tor doesn't do this. .. At this point the middle node could also randomly appends 5-10% binary chaff to the streams to obfuscate the size. .. My understanding is that Navy intelligence wanted a tool they could use on the open net to hide operatives. If only MI used it, they'd be identifiable by fingerprint of the software. So we are just chaff for the NSA, under that theory, to hide them hiding what they wish to keep hidden themselves. Tor users may be the only secrets left safe, if the NSA hasn't built better yet. ;) .. So, the Tor Project is under no illusion about chaff. The issue is not that they don't know about it, but that they may not implement chaff fill. That would cause serious problems for their ability to track and deanonymize who is talking to who etc. Once again, you appear to be labouring under the illusion that those whom you acknowledge have already censored/banned you (another example of "your superiors"), are good people "doing their best" who are perhaps just a little misguided but for the enlightenment you are about to bring to them. Karl, could there be a lesson here for you? You might find there are a few castaways on this list who used to post on the tor email list(s), but got banned and/or censored, just like you ...

Hi,
Long story short:
A Tor dev "pastly" on OFTC muted me ("remotecontrolledboy") in their off topic channel relating to asking about an event some years ago with coderman. pastly and I also had some positive interactions supporting users of Tor and did not stop me from slightly raising the bar.
I'm thinking of posting something like this in their main channel:
"pastly, some of our experienced people running an onion host were recently deanonymized by DHS. zenaan harkness has collected a number of needed improvements to Tor to prevent such deanonymization in a project called IQNets. we understand that handling this is difficult and are happy to eventually resolve it ourselves, but things could go a lot better if we worked together. The history of the nascent IQNets project is stored in the on-chain repositories managed by bsv address 1CQKe1veVPUaxpeYXeqAHnA4SJQpnbfZ2v. dumpster fires are for staying anonymous in many different ways. would you be willing to unmute me in #tor-offtopic?"
I tried to post the private key to that address when I posted the exconfidetial repo. Not attached to it.
If no clear reply is received by me I'll take it as indication to proceed however I feel.
Thank you.

There is proof inside many peoples' electronics. Proof that a marketing group would contract development of a frightening virus. A virus that responds to peoples' keystrokes and browsing habits, and changes what people see on their devices. A virus that alters political behavior en masse, for profit.
