That will cause the network to stay at a very low level of popularity
because ordinary users will be continually harassed because of malicious
uses of the network.

That will never happen for the above reason.


But let's assume BitBlinder is the future. Now, if I want strong
anonymity, I just have to give an unknown party my email address.
Sounds like a good deal, right? Also, I have to switch to a non-free and
probably-backdoored OS, since they don't support free ones (and have no
plans on supporting *BSD from a glance at their bug tracker).

I'm still somewhat interested, though. Do you have a link to their
paper? Or to their protocol spec, so I can design my own client?

Thanks in advance.
