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/torThanks 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.
Didn't you read the above messages? this dev seems have no idea how to set up TOR network for the coin, otherwise he would have provided the onion addresses...
