Hello all,
I don't know who of you is familiar with this, I just came across it a few weeks ago. It's about tor-node.org.
I can't find any relays operated by them. Does anyone know which? Looks like a ploy to me to find some dumbasses to fund Alphabay Market, Archetyp Market and Abacus Market's own hidden services. ;-) They should actually make enough money.
It is probably a person who collects funds for the operation of Tor infrastructure. Nothing wrong with that and I applaud that.
As long as they don't publish fingerprints of the relays, I don't believe anything. If anyone is interested in sponsoring reputable Tor relay operators, here is a long list: https://www.torservers.net/partners/
But what bothers me is the transparency. I also believe that using Tor is an act of anonymity. But running Tor infrastructure is an act of transparency. I am very interested in knowing who is working on our project.
I completely agree.
