Hi Christopher,

I'm interested in your work because the hidden service protocol doesn't seem to perform very well for hidden services running on mobile devices, which frequently lose network connectivity. I wonder if the situation can be improved by choosing introduction points deterministically.

allowed (previously, existing were closed)

Does this mean that at present, the service builds a new IP circuit (to a new IP?) every time it receives a connection? If so, is it the IP or the service that closes the old circuit?

Thanks, Michael
