> 1) Has there been any discussions regarding the severity of the problem
Seems not much tech issue here, the tor client treats .onion as special and funnels the whole thing to the dht. tor will get a new config bitmap that says 'set priority to resolve .onoin in dht or external first, or remain exclusive in one', plus dedicating different sockports / portflags to all those settings. You're protected by circuits so it won't really matter which one you choose. And onions only have fwd 'A' naming semantics. If your queries are heavy or not exclusive tor will end up eating the useless overhead via dht or exits. So try to play nice and stay off the xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.onion pron sites ok. Users leaking dns / failing to redirect dns into tor is not a tor problem. > trademark proof (which we have) and prepare to bid $100,000-500,000 Unlikely we'll ever see a return to Postel style grants/reservations even if the UN takes over ICANNt. Likely it'll just not be bought unless some BTC rich cpunk stands up. Remember, this is partly why there are overlay nets, to avoid such stupid hierarchies. > We can do far better things with that money than get a tld. That's 2 - 10 happily paid coders hacking for a year. Too bad tld squatting isn't really infringing, you could sue and profit. -- tor-talk mailing list - tor-talk@lists.torproject.org To unsubscribe or change other settings go to https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
