Before the re-brand and after the numerous 'borked' DNET wallet upgrades, this coin looked like it would probably go the way of Crave coin..., if anyone remembers that one.
Anyway, the developers have clearly done a great job with the re-brand etc., being reflected by the recent price move.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1262920.msg14029375#msg14029375I'm keen to try and get at least some of those nodes re-established and re-branded for PIVX. I feel that I have this obligation to fulfil for s3v3nh4cks (and the PIVX team / community), who have genuinely been some of the kindest and most generous developers I've liaised with on these forums.
TBH, hosting quality, high-bandwidth Tor nodes is sometimes a real pain, particularly Exit nodes, when your having to perform multiple upgrades and deal with / prevent potential 'abuse' issues. It's also quite costly and time consuming.
However, generally speaking, if you want stable Tor nodes for a project with proper maintenance and administration then I'm probably a good choice of candidate.
Recently I've had some personal issues and have been on hiatus, but I'm trying to re-build my portfolio and serve my legendary status,
if you will.
In the realms of crypto currency and privacy related projects, PIVX is now likely to rival DASH / Zcash (ZEC) and others (I probably just shot myself in the foot their, metaphorically, price wise).
Anyhow, what I'm basically saying here is lets do this! If the community is willing / able to fund some Full Tor Exit Nodes also running PIVX addnode=.onion's then I can endeavour to do just that. Also finally producing the proper (re-branded) set-up guide for the PIVX wiki for users to follow.
This type of set-up is something that the Zcash community is currently helping me with:

https://forum.z.cash/t/zcash-on-tor-a-community-funded-proposal/14651~ I'm also actively looking into researching and preventing potential 'attacks' against users of crypto-currencies, whilst using anonymity networks like Tor.It will be fairly straight forward to combine some services for PIVX - with a bit of additional funding. I don't wont to be in a position again, where I'm forced to switch off nodes because the running costs are outweighing personal benefit to myself!
Running PIVX Full Tor Exit nodes will certainly demonstrate to a privacy focused community that this project can go to the stratosphere, hopefully.
Anyone is welcome to PM me with suggestions if they would like to help in this regard.
