To run a Tor node they wouldn't have to even purchase anything. Do you all agree "DarkTor" would still be better than standard Tor in that regard?
There are people running Tor exit nodes as we speak. Why wouldn't they run DarkTor exit nodes as well for the added incentive?
well, there is that pricetag of 1000 DRK on it...
Well then they should act fast while it's still cheap.

Or, they could run the node for someone else for a cut.
