I voted 0.25 USD a day since this is a reasonable cost of a VPN. Nevertheless one needs to be convinced that is setup provides a level of anonymity at least equal to that of TOR with much better performance. Essentially a paid version of TOR. By the way I hold XMR as an investment and no DRK so this is strictly from the point of view of a comparison with TOR.

It cant, tor is only resonable secure because of its sheer amount of users.
Not to mention that every exitnode can sniff traffic and tor itself makes more sense for internal onion browsing and not as a bridge to the www.
then u need a browserbundle which is perfectly tight at security. And tons of tordir and bridgeservers, middlenodes etc.
And the legal problems... makes sense to earn 20 cent a day and risk jail for that.

And if u think you can make that better than a million funded and 10 year old project with a shitton of security experts you must be totally insane.

The privacy and liberty should be free.

masternode operators should just pay for servers and bandwidth out of their pocket, then give you a service for free?

We are already been paid in DRK 20%, if this increase the price of DRK it may be enough (imagine 1DRK @100$) and for the moment we have more or less one payment every 2 days...

We must find a maner that the people that want use it need DRK...

I agree and I'm very excited with what Evan's doing. TOR is funded in part by the U.S government lol...We need a "version" of TOR where it's decentralized etc. This boosts Darkcoin to new levels. Cheesy

Why should i buy darkcoins Tor access when i could just use a VPN ?

What happens when the government comes knocking at your VPNs door? Roll Eyes

I'm no expert, but I remember someone who sounded like one who said tor had been beaten a number of times. It was quite a few years ago, but it sounded like a user thought it was unbreakable, but someone in authority tracked their traffic anyway. If it's true it must have been a very rare event, but occasionally someone got tracked.

You made a big mistake when you added the option nothing.
Only either someone who hates DRK, is trying to troll or spread FUD will vote that. This solution, if one day release will be amazing there is no reason no to pay for it. $0.1 to $0.2 a day would be enough I think.

Darkcoin has announced its first major pay per access service to run through its Master Nodes:

Quote

Utilizing the Masternode network - DarkTor

One of the future goals is to turn the masternode network into a decentralized business for masternode operators. To do this we’ll add features that improve the privacy of end users and compete with centralized businesses. Our first endeavor into this is to make a completely private tor network within Darkcoin.

The Darkcoin network will begin to offer anonymous internet access via the masternode network. As a user, all you’ll have to do is pay a fee for 24 hours of access. This fee will be paid to a masternode in much the same way the masternode fees are paid, using a deterministic algorithm for distributing the payments evenly across the whole network.

There’s a few benefits to running a private tor network through Darkcoin.
Sybil resistant - Due to the cost of obtaining masternodes, it will be very difficult for any one person to view all traffic.

Anonymous Payments - Users can pay anonymously for the service Private Network - Our tor network will be internal to darkcoin only. All traffic will be paid traffic, so the cost of running the service should be profitable for the masternode operators.

Faster than tor - Tor has historically been very slow. This will be a lean version, that has much higher throughput.

As for the cost of the service we’re thinking $0.50 per day or something to that effect.

How much would you pay, if anything, to access a decentralised version of Tor, which could be called Iris (no name as yet)?

Payments will likely start with DRK, possibly adding BTC and other crypto.

Why is this important?

This pricing is how Master Nodes could be worth quite a lot in the years to come:
