Title: name game/ tor server problems
Post by: human5 on February 02, 2012, 12:08 am
hey instead of giving us free stuff for further exhausting servers, maybe SR should give a nice donation to tor project since many SR users use tor to connect to the road?
if I am understanding this correctly (more $ = better tech/hosting/servers/ect = better connectivity) then I believe this idea would be full of mutually beneficial swag! Maybe even a little post on the right side news on SRs home page or a banner for users to make donations as well. What do you guys think?

Don't you mean "all SR users"? This is a TOR Hidden Service after all...

DISREGARD

Well technically you can access SR on the clearweb through Tor2Web, although it's an obvious security risk. If you google Tor2Web SR is the top link recommended by google, so I imagine some people must use it..

Tor2Web has blocked access to SR due to illegal content. But even if it hadn't, Tor2Web is still just a web proxy for TOR. If you use it, you're still using the TOR network - you just don't have any specific software  installed on your computer, and your data isn't transmitted as securely.

Ohh the TOR project has its money, it has some major uses than this web/service.

500 bucks wouldn't make such a difference either.

In the other hand, it is really fun to have a game like the one we're gonna have this awesome weekend.

touché. Haven't really investigated it much myself for obvious reasons, I don't know why anyone would use it when you could just use the TOR plugin.
