+the basic idea might be to generate a keypair, and sign little statements
+like "this key corresponds to this relay id", and publish them on karsten's
+hs dht.
+
+so if you want to talk to it, you look it up, then go to that exit.
+and by 'go to' i mean 'build a tor circuit like normal except you're sure
+where to exit'
+
+connecting to it is slower than usual, but once you're connected, it's no
+slower than normal tor.
+and you get what wikileaks wants from its hidden service, which is really
+just the UI piece.
+indymedia also wants this.
+
+might be interesting to let an encrypted service list more than one relay,
+too.
