+“Back in the ancient pre-Tor days, at the height of the crypto wars, Ian
+Goldberg asked me at Financial Crypto in 1998 why we created onion
+routing. Not entirely facetiously I told him that the fascinating
+technological problems and the potential to better protect people and
+their activities was nice, but the real attraction was to create a
+context where people who were sure they should hate each other were
+forced to collaborate.” [XXX]
