Ehm okay, like everybody else too.. Tor is a bit half way there:

- by not providing bidirectional authentication it favors
  client/server architectures even when routing by public key.
  where it bidirectional, doing e2e apps would be more easy.
- by artificially trying to provide real-time performance
  Tor is unnecessarily easier to de-anonymize by traffic shaping.
  A fix called "alpha mixing" is however in the planning since 2006.
- various other minor issues with the DHT etc to be fixed...

heard of these, but didn't think they could be employed this way.
will look into them.

Bitmessage seems to perform better than I originally expected...
because it does not use plain blockchain technology. Blockchain
as such must theoretically run into scalability issues as
popularity increases, according to my understanding of physics.
