Torcoin
Yes, here so unexpectedly came together two seemingly different concepts in one.
TOR - p2p network for anonymous surfing.
BitCoin and all other altCoin (alternatives to Bitcoin) is a digital currency based on cryptography. Our Central Bank affectionately calls it a “ money surrogate, ” although it is not stated anywhere what it means.
However, the authors of the amazingly entertaining concept of TorCoin , three people from Yale University and one of the American research laboratory of the morflot, managed to cross these two concepts.
As mentioned in a recent article here on Habré, the Tor network suffers from a lack of relays (nodes that serve as transmission links in the network).
The authors of the concept propose to create a virtual currency that will reward the owners of these same relays. Mining currency will be to provide traffic for the Tor network. The more traffic provided, the more currency received.
The concept describes two protocols, TorCoin for mining processing, and TorPath for working with routing
Unfortunately, I do not have the physical ability to translate all the fundamental work. But as a fan of anonymous networks and cryptocurrency (of course, I mean to them purely academic interest and sacredly the criminal code) I cannot but share with the respected public this, without a doubt, an interesting project.
