Hey Richard:

I don't want to sound like an ingrate, but are there any nym
servers functioning anymore that are compatable with QS 1.2.7.2
or that can be hand rolled in the typical way and operate
normally, the way that I am use to? This mixnym.net thing is a
real pain in the ass the way its hardwired, no clear way to do
the config message, the aam retrieval software loosly
associated with it doesn't work right, no way to set up the esub
in one step, instructions seem to require two config attempts to
do that, the software to do that doesn't work the way the
instructions say it should. The whole thing seems to be some
half-baked bloated cumbersome thing that seems to force one to
use gnpg instead of pgp, and I don't want to change to that, I
use 6.5.8ckt 09 and that's what I want to use, period.. I have
no idea why all of these useless changes have been made but they
render the thing unnecessairily vague, cumbersome, unreliable
and useless to me. Did I mention that it is a real pain in the
ass? The whole thing seems to be a lot of fixes to something
that was not broken, now its useless. It's got me so pissed off
I can hardly see straight, what a waste of time its been,
Christ. Again, are there any normal nym servers functioning out
there? Thanks.

All the software I have tried works perfectly.

If you insist on continuing to drive an Edsel (pgp 6.5.8ckt 09),
then don't complain about your refusal to drive a free Ferrari
(GnuPG). hSub has not replaced eSub. It is a new system that
works quite well in place of eSub.

I would give you the instructions on how to set up hSub, but you
have already said that you are determined to stubbornly drive your
Edsel.

nymph.paranoici.org or nym.mixmin.net? Both are traditional nymservers.

If he can't figure out how to set up mixnym.net hsub, he is going
to end up killing himself trying to setup an esub.

I don't know why you were worried about sounding like an ingrate,
'cause you should just accept who you are and learn to live with
it. I suppose if fags can do it, you can to. Or you could practice
using sneaker net, which still works wonders and has about the same
level of performance. Just remember to use a sponge and not your
tongue for sticking the stamp.

They aren't really that different, both are methods of encoding the
Subject header so that only the owner knows which are their messages.

Good luck getting your Nym up and running whichever solution you choose
to go with. Feel free to ask for help if it's not working out.

Well, I must admit that in the vortex of my irritation and

Perhaps i should go back and re-visit the whole thing, maybe in

How about vista/win7 support? People are already using win8. How many

OM takes 30 minutes to send a message direct to a remailer! Thirty
minutes of repeated connect attempts. Is that good for a remailer

That's some code we'd ought to get a look at :) Of course, we can't.
OM is closed source. Does closed source make a good remailer client?

A liar's list of untenable assertions.

Though including all necessary components like Tor, Hamster and GPG,
and not having to rely on external tools, OM is set up faster than any
other remailer software. And there are no OS restrictions. It works
with all Windows versions starting with XP.

Preppy, it's not just a good, it's the best remailer client we have!

Yes, of course, at least for those who can read the instructions and
post log excerpts to get their problems solved.

Learn to ride a bike and you no longer have to walk!

Bubba, who never explained why it took so long (he may have a job!),

Does that matter with mixmaster and that openssl dll being used for
nothing but packet creation? You don't know that omnimix uses the
latest openssl 1.0.1 version for ssl/tls connections, do you?


>

Not by omnimix. In Bubba's "took me a month" article, which you
mentioned above, you also read about him successfully running omnimix
on windows 7 x64 home premium. And I saw it working perfectly with
windows xp, vista and 7, 32 as well as 64 bit, but didn't try windows
8 yet. So don't spread that incompatibility humbug.


> Hell, it still defaults to the

Incompatibility? Here it works from wherever you put it. Omnimix
also was the first fully portable remailer client, leaving no traces
on your host system.

Sending through tor usually takes about 45 seconds per packet, which
means less than 6 minutes for a message in 7 copies (about 90 seconds
for message conversion and getting mx server data, followed by 4
minutes for uploading data).

And you must not forget, that it saves you a lot of time during
message creation when using a mail or news client with all the
advantages you're accustomed to (no references header copying, no
message format restrictions, which means full mime support,
attachments, html encoding), compared with the copy & paste sessions
you seem to recommend. Can't speak for the programmer, but I'm
satisfied with that.

Mixmaster, the part that creates your packets and thereby makes you
anonymous, is open source. You've read the code or even complied it?

Clearly Bubba is none to smart in logic as well as security-ware.
Windows and MSE are two of the most scrutinized and widely used
programs by many of the best developers around, not to mention the
fact that Microsoft would be held accountable and suffer immensely
if its product were found to be back-doored and the favorite
spyware of MIB.

And since you too are obviously not the sharpest of tools in the
shed, as shown by your lack of distinction in these two scenarios
and ignorance in using a pitifully poor example to support your
lost cause, well I am now wondering why I should bother responding
to such a looser.

Perhaps I do it in hopes of helping those who are less discerning
and better intentioned than a bloke like you.
