Title: Help support TOR! No TOR equals no SR.
Post by: thesearstower on November 04, 2012, 09:21 pm
Hi all! I thought that I'd use my 100th post as an opportunity to ask everyone to give a little back to the community if they can. SR can only exist because of TOR, so it's in all of our best interests to keep the TOR network running smoothly. A larger and more robust TOR network means faster browsing & greater anonymity for us, while also ensuring functionality for those around the globe who dearly need TOR's privacy protections.

If you've got extra time, a twenty-dollar bill, a few BTC, or a fraction of BTC to spare, consider donating to one or more of these organizations.

Donating your hard-earned money is not as much fun as buying drugs. I'll give you that. But if you're keen on this whole Silk Road 'thing' that we've got going here, then just think of this as 'doing your part' to keep things up and running. It only takes a moment, and it helps everyone. And while we here are using TOR to protect ourselves from governments with opressive drug laws, lots of people are living underneath much more pervasive opression, and TOR is their gateway to things like free speech and free association that we take for granted.

When the Stranger says: "What is the meaning of this city?
What will you answer? "We all dwell together
To make money from each other"? or "This is a community"?

Second that. Especially if you are a vendor and have to worry about cashing out big amounts of bitcoin: why not slip a few to the people who operate the Tor network? It saves you some work and helps to keep the deep internet free.

An excellent thread! I'd give +1 to the op if i could. Support the tor network and tell big government to back off.
