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.

Even if we are decentralization enthusiasts the bitter fact is everyday that passes centralization is taking over every thing and sadly people no longer value decentralization as it should. Running nodes and lightning channels are also enthusiastic moves and it was over time when I knew more about nodes I found out how important it is to run a node for absolute privacy.

People no longer cared, as if they ever cared for it in the first place. You said it as if it was something they considered very important in the past and no longer do now that we are in the future full of decentralized attacks.

If a pure and honest review is being conducted on those who make use of crypto now and in the past, you will notice that the majority of people who are into crypto today (not just holding bitcoin) are into it not just because they care about decentralization and privacy but because they want to make a profit. How can someone who is from day one profit-oriented care about privacy?

Only a few were involved in Bitcoin because of its decentralization and privacy feature in the past, and few of them still know the importance of privacy and protecting it, and only a few of the new users consider it important.

Of course less people will do it, so I will just stick it in Off Topic maybe.

Fewer people will do it because fewer people care about privacy; some will do it or are already running their own node and might not report to the thread, and aside from the little SATs and the merits, how many among the few who participate thoroughly understand what they are doing or even keep the node running after the 14-day period?

But given that we are literally sleepwalking into 1984, I just felt like I had to do something about it.

Your effort is very much appreciated…
