 We should look into the Salmon paper from PETS in 2016. It would allow us
 to build a different bridge distribution mechanism than what we have today
 with BridgeDB where reputation and social contacts gives you access to
 "better" bridges and adds a penalty for when a bridge is censored.

 The paper can be found here: https://www.freehaven.net/anonbib/cache
