[tor-talk] Tor for everyone; introducing Eccentric Authentication

[Aymeric Vitte]

I am not sure neither to understand the interest of the system.

Why should it be better than systems such as Namecoin?

Why this (umpteenth) concept of discussing using hidden services
(unlikely to be usable by normal people) on a small network like Tor?

How do you prevent name squatting/spoofing?

Maybe missing something but interested by the problematic, currently
working on https://github.com/Ayms/node-Tor#convergence
