MODERATORS
Definitely a step in the right direction for the Tor network. If they wanted to take it to the next level, they could use blockchain to enable people to buy "priority" access in some way (Monero, lightning, their own token, whatever). This could subsidize people who host Tor routers, while making sure a free tier was enabled for all users who need it. This could massively increase the size of the Tor network as right now Tor server hosting is just done out of expensive altruism. Bigger network = bigger free tier = faster Tor for everybody.
That's a great idea to kill it once and for all, or maybe to make it really only for pedos, drug dealers and criminals. Good thinking there...
Jus add a few buzz words. That'll fix it
