With the amount of countries, governments and social platforms all of a sudden censoring and banning VPNs all at once (they are using pr0n as an excuse to destroy our internet privacy) over the last few days, the utility of Tor has just skyrocketed.
While it's not directly related to Bitcoin, I do run a
Bitcoin node accelerator and a smaller
Lightning network accelerator, I am thinking of running a Tor accelerator as well.
People will come, run Tor nodes, and get merit. x10 merit and perhaps some sats if they run an exit node (dangerous but necessary!).
Of course less people will do it, so I will just stick it in Off Topic maybe.
But given that we are literally sleepwalking into 1984, I just felt like I had to do something about it.
However small it may be.
Anyway I just want to hear your thoughts about this.
I'm not sure if people are self aware that privacy is a right and a freedom, I mean there is basic Privacy that everyone can have, it will cost nothing practicing it, there is no place that says privacy is wrong because even the government are hidden some high profile information from public, it's their right to do so and so is everyone that want censorship resistance.
Centralization is winning each day as more people are become self awareness about cryptocurrency, I wish there is a broader way people can learn privacy before understanding what they are going to be doing with Bitcoin. Some people don't even know nodes broadcast Bitcoin transactions with otter peers, they only know that you need a wallet address and all of that. Sometime, I am disappointed how people are so cool with Trust wallet and holding Bitcoin in there, it irk me and get me mad. Of all available wallets, you pick Trust wallet as right choice to create a wallet for Bitcoin.
That thread is best place is beginners and help, if it's goes off topic it wouldn't have a wide reach because I'm not sure if people even go there. Beginner and help board with merit as incentive will make people to want to practice everything about Bitcoin node and privacy.
