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.

Essentially you would be getting paid to be watched and tagged by the government as node passing packets about ton of illegal crap? There is a good idea. But then if that person got hit, post mortem data would point everything back to it's original sender.

Would it not also incentivize acronym agencies to own exit nodes?

Well everyones invited to the party!

With the stats for decrypting a darksend+ transaction it takes owning a ridiculous amount of the masternodes to obtain a small percentage probability. And coupled to that is multi-layer ip obfustication of RC5. So it will be difficult. Also their would be multiple countries interested. Will be interesting.
