The economic incentives over TOR have really improved TOR
I was pulling 800k/sec the other day, pretty surprised.
Some circuits are still slow. But I remember not that long ago (18 months?) it was a miserable expereince
- schoen 10y agoWhich incentives are you referring to here?
- elastic_church 10y agoThe markets and cryptocurrency.
- schoen 10y agoI haven't heard that these have led people to add more capacity to the Tor network (although that's definitely plausible). Is there a public source for this connection?
- elastic_church 10y agoNo source I can think of on top of my head, just the various efforts and willingness to do so. Basically open source volunteer projects fail pretty hard until an economic incentive is added. On another note, I2P has attempted several times to add a cryptocurrency to its protocol layer.
