This is an experiment I call #Superball.
Superballs are a way to post nostr events that help preserve the anonymity and location of the sender. Superballs use timing delays and add or subtract event padding to help defeat timing and size analysis, such as is used to help defeat TOR anonymity.

I have implemented the protocol in two web pages, which you can use to test it out:
This page lets you create and throw a superball. You can log in as yourself if you want, and just throw a superball. There are already throwers up.

This page lets you create a thrower. You can open as many of these pages as you want to create as many throwers as you want. You can watch your superballs propogate through your throwers. Don't log in as yourself. Log in as a new account to create a thrower. https://laantungir.net/superball/thrower.html
If you don't like reading instructions, go ahead and dive in. You can probably figure it out if you are nostr savy.

3. Click on Add Bounce, and add another bounce. Note that with 2 or more bounces, you can now specify that the thrower add padding to the Superball, to defeat any size analysis of your superball.

When I was a kid, I used to buy superballs from gumball machines, go into parking lots, and throw my superballs down as hard as I could onto the pavement. Hours of fun.
The early cypherpunks used Anonymous Remailers. I believe this may have been one of the most anonymous ways to post online ever created. Tor and I2P are great, and can't be replaced, but their immediate nature means that they will always be vulnerable to timing attacks. Remailers solved this, and I think Superball can do the same on nostr.
