You are right there- but its not just a math problem. Once people would use it, the usual suspects would show up and start to warp this distributed web. Despots would add sinks that suck in all messages, by pretending to be a known plankton/connection. Also assume that traditional isps would first try to subvert it and then try to replace it by providing a similar walled in service - warning from the dangerous open source network. The whole thing would have to be constructed in away like the TOR-Network, preventing the identification of sender and reciver before Arrival. Finally i think the problem remains, that any sufficiently enough supressing regime, would force its citizens to uninstall such software.

> Finally i think the problem remains, that any sufficiently enough supressing regime, would force its citizens to uninstall such software. Not force to uninstall - rather regulate, requiring licensure for operation; giving people a reason to be complacent. (Likely in the name of counterterrorism/child safety/etc) Still, you have a decent grasp of the situation, which is much appreciated. Anyone who still thinks interpolitical issues can be swept away by some "just invent X" has either not lived long enough to know better or are doomed to the delusion that "it's the next one" until they die.
