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.

Censorship can also potentially block access to TOR. I've heard that Iran and China have already done so. For those who are particularly concerned about privacy, I recommend obfuscating TOR traffic using StegoTorus to bypass possible restrictions.
