Hi all,
project Nike is online and I would be happy if you can test
the Android version, available under Releases, so that I know
if the GUI looks good on small smartphones as well, as this
is my first Android app.

Feedback welcome!
Hope you like!
I want to run my own oc node now. Wow, has all the features I was
looking to implement myself, including some newsgroup interaction.
Seems like an awesome project. Still reading up on it. How does it peer
with other nodes?
Hi,
The Onion Courier Mixnet is the easiest and probably most secure Mixnet globally avialable, which requires no learning curve for an operator when running a mix node. Mix nodes, wether public or anonymous don't know about
each other, like public keyrings and pingers, which Type II remailers use.
Users simply build their chain and messages travel then along the path.
The message pool is in RAM and messages there are padded and encrypted,
in case someone would look at the pool. Secret key rotation for the pool
is done every 24 hrs. This symmetric key is not the same as the secret
key used for decrypting incomming messages.
Public and anonymous mix nodes can interact with each other, so that
users running their own mix node can then chain with public mix nodes.
Nobody knows how big the fully decentralized Onion Courier Mixnet is,
as everybody can run their very own Mixnet, with family and friends.
Operators of mix nodes don't have to worry about running a middle or
exit Remailer, because in the Onion Courier Mixnet clear net traffic
is handled with additional endpoint servers.
Installation of a mix node is very easy as it only needs compiling in
the .onion URL of your Tor Hidden Service in the source code and once
done setting-up a mix node takes less than thirty seconds.
As you can see the idea behind the Onion Courier Mixnet is that people
with no technical skills or knowledge can run their own Onion Courier
Mixnet for family, friends and co-workers, on a Raspberry Pi, in case
no VPS is wanted.
Regards
Stefan
