I thought about creating an anonymous peer-to-peer network like BitMessage but over Twitter instead of over TCP/IP. The main benefit is that for the watching government hardware your traffic will flow to twitter, not to some suspicious computers. Of course if government can talk to Twitter, it might find out that activity, but not all governments can talk to Twitter.

Another improvement might be not to send base64 abracadabra, but instead send some readable texts (autogenerated or fragments from wikipedia) and encode message as a slight deviations (typos, etc) using steganography. But it would require a lot of messages to transmit enough data.

yeah that'd probably speed things up significantly; we already ran into speed issues with PRAW in terms of how fast it can upload comments
