sounds like you're (roughly) reinventing some sort of acme protocol.

if we're going to do that, then we should just encourage kristian to use
acme directly.

imho, having a dedicated CA for this particular pool is the *right*
answer -- certifying pools is bad enough from a security perspective and
we certainly don't need to get the full CA cartel involved in the
picture.

So the question isn't "why should kristian be in the loop?" -- it's "why
don't more people ask kristian to use hkps?"

I note that we have more tor hidden services than we have hkps servers!

I suspect this is because of certificate maintenance more than anything
else.

I confess i've let the hkps pool cert for zimmermann.mayfirst.org lapse
for months at a time (it's lapsed right now!) because i don't monitor it
as well as i should have.  i wonder how many other people fall into the
same trap?

are there better ways to get members of the hkps pool to stay in the
pool?

     --dkg, off to bug kristian to renew my cert…
