Maybe GP is saying Tor could monetize to provide private access? Which, correct me if I am wrong, is a feature Tor doesn't even provide? I'm pretty lost too.

- ianai 9y agoClearly I’m not the guy to talk to about tor/onion. I’m wondering if a network could be set up across thousands of homes somehow and that network could purchase priority of its traffic. Basically there’s always a way to add another layer of abstraction to circumvent a lower layers restrictions.
- tpxl 9y agoYes, a mesh network would work for that, then you just need a method to measure how much traffic each node serves then pay the node operators for that.
- ianai 9y agoIs anybody working on that?
- tpxl 9y agoI know there were mesh networks with wireless microwave transmitters deployed in some rural areas, but I can't find the articles. It's probably going to get more and more attention though, along with distributed electricity and similar things as technology progresses.
