      Haha, nah. You can only revcieve calls when listening and users will need your address and shared secret to make contact.

      Would be a low conversion rate for spammers.

    So, I wanna support the Onion network, but it seems hosting a middle node is the most likely way, and thus have the largest base. In looking into it, exit nodes seem very dangerous to those who’re uneducated on the risks of having them, and thus are a big bottleneck.

    Not to say this is a bad problem to have, as it’s a growing pain and that indicates an increase in popularity, but wouldn’t wide-scale adoption of this disproportionately limit the usability of the Onion network through the exit nodes?

      Middle node seems best to me as well, then your supporting services like this. This doesn’t use any exit nodes at all.

      The bandwidth on this is so tiny. Tor can handle this. Unless everyone uses it which i doubt will happen. I didn’t include files and images for a reason. That takes a lot of bandwidth away from the network.
