[tor-talk] I have a quick question about security of tor with 3 nodes

2014-09-01 Thread Aymeric Vitte
Restoring the right subject for this thread... Maybe in the context of the Tor network it would not be very useful and safe but probably there is still an interest that the first node does not know it is the first one, not sure it's really possible for the Tor network since as you mention it's

[tor-talk] hidden key server access

2014-09-01 Thread Martin S
I've set up a hidden key server on Tor. I can access it well enough if I use Lynx on the local machine, but from an external browser accessing port 11371 I get "Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at ADDRESS" and "The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a

[tor-talk] Fail to connect to hidden service

Apologies if this is doubled - got a weird error on first attempt. Hi, I've setup a key server on Tor. After installation I manage to connect to it using Lynx on the local machine (lynx localhost:11371 gets me to the intended page). However when trying to access it from the network I get "Unable

[tor-talk] Micropayment embedded in circuit building? New idea?

Hiya.. don't know if anyone has thought of this before: What if there was a sufficiently brilliant and lightweight micropayment system, that you could pay relay nodes for anonymizing your circuits? I don't care to turn Tor into a business - the point is to solve the incentivation question in cas

First question is: why do you want people to pay for relays? That's probably one of the best way to deanonymize you. Second is: why apparently you only envision to use/scale the Tor network, and not the Tor protocol for a P2P system? Knowing that the Tor network is absolutely not designed at a
