The SURB problem that already sandbagged Mixminion.

Thanks, but no thanks!

Sandbagged? Do you mean that it has some negative impact on speed and compute usage? Because I can't seem to find anything pertaining to an attack using the feature when I look it up.

If it's the performance stuff you're referencing then I don't see why that's a real problem. Trading off compute & speed for anonymity is fine.

Hearsay in the comments. I don't know if it is true.

iPhone only

Looks like the initial rollout of Veilidchat is by invitation through the Apple store.

Probably sometimes in February I'll take a look and dump in a test OS.

When you are a hammer everything looks like a nail.
Every so often a white paper comes along with some network. Nobody has actually shown how it scales. I have 10 routers and this is how it looks like. With 50 that is the model. I don't need FFT (Fast Fourier Transforms or LaPlace) but really you need to check your comm module before you come out with networks.
For i2p models I use radio relay and truncated Planar Wave (in my blood) models. There are more complex and better models but the processing power is just to much.
