I'd really like to see a comparison to TOR. Because honestly, from randomly clicking through the website I don't see why you're better than TOR and why I should use ORCHID. I cannot (easily) find answers to pretty much every question I have, and sorry, I'm not going to read through a 50 page whitepaper before I decide if it's worth it. What is it, onion routing? There's some talk of ethereum, so presumably you can get eth for spending traffic? Exit nodes? hidden services? (I'm not going to run an exit node for obvious reasons) Maybe I'm just tired or stupid but I can't really find anything that isn't marketing blurbs without going through the whitepaper?

If only there was a document describing the details of the design that you could read

  I mean, I already said I know about the whitepaper. I'm very sorry that I ask for a bit more of a tl;dr of it when there's another new hot blockchain startup. Eh, you know, one of those you see every other day. Why not leave it to them to decide if they want to acknowledge my feedback or not? I'm not forcing anyone to do anything here.

    Yeah, I have the same problem. My solution has been to ask specific questions, saurik is good at answering those.

"I'm not going to read through a 50 page whitepaper before I decide if it's worth it." It sounds like this project is probably a little too early stage for you then? Maybe let people play with it for a couple if years and distill it down a bit. If it still exists maybe try again.

I don't have a problem reading a whitepaper. But there's approx. 12 billion new etherum startups a day. So I just think a little tl;dr would be nice to know if it's something I care about. Because right now I don't know if I should care early stage.
