 thanks for the hard work. I got a few questions that may or may not turn
 into viable features. for your consideration... pls bear with me if this
 is in the wrong section

 1) if the is so much interception of internet traffic worldwide, is it not
 more practical to make obfsproxy a default startup setting to reduce the
 potential amount of attention from spying idiots

 2) with the growing anti-NSA sentiment, has tor though about approving at
 least one geoip plugin like WORLDIP, so folk who are super weary can see
 where at website is located and if need be block an entire country if they
 feel their privacy is at threat

 3) with tors infrastructure pretty well established, there is still no way
 to verify that when you visit tor it is not a NSA dummy site. Is it
 possible to implement a verification site that sits as a hidden service
 that holds some kind of session key, giving lets say the tor site a ring-
 of-three auth model. so when a client visits tor, it has to fetch an
 session key from a hidden service, so that the NSA's clever faster-than-
 light tactic can be circumvented.
