Isnt the idea to use a DHT for the Intro Pt descriptors for the hidden services in the long term , is there any move on this front .Ofcourse the issues with DHt's are all te more well known , GNUnets dht seems very resilient , atleast thats what they claim. <br>

Two related questions for general comment:<br>
<br>
1) Couldn't the directories to which hidden service<br>
descriptors are published elect, or be ordered,<br>
to decline to publish certain descriptors?<br>
<br>
2) What happens in the event of a sustained global<br>
DoS or a simple coordinated LEO/ISP shutdown of<br>
the directories?<br>
<br>
There have been cases where contributory, aiding, etc,<br>
regardless of common carrier principles, has been an<br>
argument that has held traction against other sites or<br>
systems. It is not unreasonable to assume such an attempt<br>
may be made upon Tor. Is the degree to which Tor is<br>
designed/distributed sufficent to render the difficulty out<br>
to at least the equivalent of shutting down all the relays?<br>
