One issue I consider to remain with low-latency mixnets and overlay networks is that downtime can be deanonymizing.

Even if one has constant bitrate with randomly-selected short downtime/network degradation simulation, that doesn't really help when one's town loses power entirely a few times in a year or whatever and someone bothers to try and map the downtimes onto known locations of power outages over the same year.

Is there any sensible model for handling this failure case?

@torproject & @tails are going to strengthen their collaboration by merging¹! 👍

#Tor has also released a new alpha

✔ Potential solutions: timing delays, cover traffic...
