How else can you enter information into the network anonymously?  I was
thinking of a similar approach using recursively wrapped RSA encryption.  I
was going to add some features that would make the network harder to spam.

How would you solve the problem?  In the scheme you have preposed (2.7
Anonymous two-way data flow) you must trust the proxies for anonymity to be
maintained.  For example the proxy you connect to could be malicious and would
know who you are communicating with.  Without using encryption how would this
be avoided?
