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.

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
