Also Bitcoin puts way more emphasis on decentralisation than Tor&#xA;does. For Tor having a P2P network is just something that&#39;s needed in order&#xA;to build an anonymity network, but it&#39;s not actually the goal. For us,&#xA;decentralisation is pretty much the end goal.&#xA;-------------- next part --------------&#xA;An HTML attachment was scrubbed...&#xA;URL: &lt;http://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/bitcoin-dev/attachments/20140508/d5ea5b94/attachment.html&gt;</html></oembed>
