As I said three times already, you're up against 2^80 before you'll
be able to 'see' the plaintext descriptor on/from any HSDir. An
HSDir/RP/relay are all separate functions, don't cross the definitions.
I also said above what I've got around to reading or not regarding
confirming someone else's hearsay hint in this thread.
