Hello!
I have some ideas to improve tor project and I'm not sure that I'm writing in
right place. I'm operating a tor exit node for a long time, and I use tor not
only on computer but even on my phone. Since I first installed tor browser I
feel great improvements in tor network's speed, but exiting in the external
sites takes some time because lack of exit nodes. Yeah, I know that it is a
problem to operate an exit node. I often receive abuses and spam problems,
besides some services doesn't work at all. But today I was thinking about
bitcoins and realized that this crypto-coin uses computer power to calculate
some hash, the same type of calculation that exit node proceed with every
package, but more complicated. May be tor project can use this calculation and
power not only for asking people to do so, but to make money on their exit
nodes. I suggest to create a new type of crypto-coin as TorCoin and give every
exit node an digital account to store those coins. For every tcp session or pack
age decryption exit node will receive a reward that can be used to buy smth in
internal tor's network or even on external one. I think that while digital
decentralized payment method is still making their own way into our everyday
life, this is great opportunity for tor project to become not only a anonymous
way of communication but something more, that will bring more exit nodes to
this network and increase speed. And this will make people who operates exit
node not to work as enthusiasts but to do it with all the responsibility as it
is their main job.
Thanks for your time, this is general concept, I can develop further with
technical details if you think that this is good idea and we have to spent more
time on it.
