Were very interested to get the communitys response to see if its viable .
I do have concerns about viability of the DarkTor concept. TOR exit nodes face some challenging liability issues because of the statistical likelihood they will output illegal content at some point (see discussion at
https://www.torproject.org/eff/tor-legal-faq). For that reason many TOR node operators choose to only operate relay nodes.
If the proposal here is to essentially turn every masternode into a potential TOR exit node (when its turn comes up in some deterministic algorithm), I think that could present new and challenging new legal risks for DRK's masternode operators AND the providers that host them, at least in many jurisdictions.
If that's a serious concern, presumable Evan could set it up so masternodes can opt out of being an exit node (so just be a relay), and have a specific fee paid just to exit nodes. Then the market will sort it out. The less masternodes want to be exit nodes the more the remaining exit nodes will get, adding incentive to be an exit node.
That's a very good idea actually.
@Drobek: "Anonymised payments are IMO more sensitive than anonymous traffic. So I am all in. "
Well if you think about it, anonymous payments can lead to people paying anonymously for hosting if you could find a company willing to do that. So someone could anonymously host a Masternode that runs a Tor exit relay.
