Nope. This isn't self directed education. You do what you're told for as long as you're not told differently. After a while maybe someone will take pity on you and explain more shit, or maybe they won't. Either way, your oral participation is not useful of its own accord. Speak when spoken to, and for now get lost as I've had enough of interacting with adolescent boyhood.
Nevertheless, much like the Open Coin scam implementing it, TOR as it stands is a dead project.
What about i2p? cjdns? I don't know much about them, but they have common principles.
Honestly I've not looked much into either, either.
