   I reorganized the repository and it consist now of oc_client.go, oc_server.go,   
   oc_m2n_server.go, oc_paganini_server.go and oc_middleman_server.go.   
      
   oc_middleman_server.go is like the name suggest a middleman node, thus   
   meanining you send with oc_client a message first to the middleman, which   
   then  forwards the message to m2n or paganini. The client sees the path   
   the message went through. I have not testet yet if this works with multiple   
   middleman nodes, but I guess it theoretically should.   
      
   oc_middleman_server.go needs a special message format containing an   
   X-OC-To: Header, with the .onion.url, port and password of the   
   destination server.   
      
   In the next couple of days I will set-up a VPS server and test then   
   oc_email_server.go, so that oc_client.go users can send email to white   
   listed privacy related email services, or Remailers. In the next step   
   I will try to implement a mail2onion Gateway, so that oc_client.go   
   users, with oc_server.go running, can receive anonymous email messages,   
   as long as their oc_server.go is running (locally). The mail2onion   
   Gateway will then require 'age'[1] usage so that the destination   
   address is encrypted and can not bee seen, by for example ,exit   
   Remailers.   
      
   Once this is all done I will try to implement an onion2bitmessage   
   Gateway. Whish me good luck, so that we have an additional privacy   
   Network, called Onion Courier, which can not store or log messages   
   and would allow individuals to run the servers too, whether locally   
   or on a VPS, without registering a domain. :-)
