Thank you Ashdad for your thoughts. Will think about them...

Meanwhile, I would be happy if someone could clarify, please: When I'm running a Torcoin Wallet, am I also automatically running a Tor node, thus helping the Tor network? I'm interested in any insights...



Yes if you are running on this branch here >> https://github.com/TorCoinProject/torcoin/tree/tor
Thanks for clarification! I think running a Tor node is this coin's greatest strength. It's what separates Torcoin from other coins offering anonymity, I think.

I don't see any problem with the name, by the way. The representatives of Tor Project even admitted in a tweet, that Torcoin helps the Tor Network by creating nodes. They have no reason to fight against it.

I see some justified criticism also. Every new open-source project should be criticized thoroughly, that's how stuff evolves. When a critic has the motivation of helping and offering insight, I appreciate it. But sometimes when someone presents themselves with the style of "haha, your investment will be worth 1 satoshi and I will be here to laugh at you", then this kind of background noise should be ignored.
