We need a reputation system.  If I visit https://eben_moglen and see
any indication it's crap, I should be able to thumbs-down on it.
Enough people do that, and the and the fake host(s) is(are) voted
away.

Anyone with good encryption chops know how one could do a DHT-based
reputation/voting system?
