Are there any crypto currencies that work like tor?
https://www.torproject.org/By this I mean, part of the "work" done by mining would be to help encrypt webtraffic, and maybe the coins would be something like 1meg worth or web traffic encrypted. You would then be able to use these "coins" that you mined to surf anonymously on the web or spend them like other crypto currencies?
I figure something like this would be very popular given the news about prism etc....
Yes, because as an end-user I would be perfectly fine with 10 minutes of waiting to see a page, and as a miner I would be thrilled to facilitate child porn propagation.
You don't have to wait 10 minutes to view a page in Tor, nor is it's purpose to proliferate porn.
Some sort of cyrptocurrency that encrypts the web in it's work could be good for anonymous society as a whole..
It can't be fast, miners need to fight one an other at who can do a soduku the fastest to decide who wins the round. Expect massive delays in page transactions.
Also the blockchain would bloat hilariously fast.
Also if you'd be able to keep up with that bloat, you'd essentially be hosting an absurd amount of kiddie porn.
Also the network would shit itself and fork if it tried to serve more than 30k page requests per day.
