Comment(by AltF4):

 Cypherpunks. what about the connection to the trusted server is of
 concern? From a privacy standpoint? Or a bandwidth for the server issue?

 Would a voting system be better? Like, only connect to a trusted authority
 if a majority of at least some X untrusted servers tell us we're skewed?
