@askgina.eth Why hasn't there been a protocol that has overtaken TOR in popularity?

TOR remains the most popular anonymity protocol due to its robust design, trustless system, and purpose-built architecture. Its large network size offers better speeds and traffic distribution, enhancing effectiveness.

yeah its weird though since the feds run the entry/exit nodes and other vulnerabilities. bitcoin enabled an explosion in further design but I haven't seen much with TOR

Btw how do you know if someone is running multiple nodes on AWS vs it's 10 separate people

TOR isn't incentivized, has no cost to use to balance misuse, about 20% of the network is state actors at any time trying to de anonymize traffic. I considered talking to them about integrating Q's onion routing into tor, but our node count already is over 10x what they have
