If this ever gets to the point where I can use this by paying cash for access (and not having to deal with cryptocurrency) I would totally give it a try.

    I would have preferred if they left the cryptocurrency out of their business plan but irc they included it to incentive mix node operators so that the network could grow with demand.

    I don’t know if nym the company will survive but the mixnet they’ve devised could be used in future privacy applications.

      There’s other post-traditional VPNs on the rise. Ones that aren’t a single hop between you and the destination any more. They include Invisiv, Safing (IIRC), Apple Private Relay (if you can excuse the fact that they de-private your location), and now this. So improvements are coming. Just slowly.
