    I'm excited to see it get going and I like the idea behind DIME (the Darknet Internet Mail Environment). I want to see it in practice and how many others join in/become compatible. For me, Ladar Levison is a bit of a hero. And perhaps he also feels very patriotic (he talks a lot about upholding the values of the US Constitution). That's great, but I worry a little about Lavabit remaining in the US and also a little that he seems to be running Lavabit on his own. Let's see what happens. It has potential, for sure.

    Also perhaps I should add: Lavabit's whole new focus on hiding metadata from mass surveillance can be achieved in part in other ways. For example, two Protonmail addresses sending emails to each other just have those travelling within the Protonmail servers. They never go out to the big bad world to get intercepted. That, of course, doesn't solve every problem. But it does enable freedom from metadata surveillance for emails for some use cases.
