I am considering spending the time, money, and energy to significantly upgrade my home Internet connection to business class, or possibly Metro Ethernet or even an OC-12 fiber optical carrier-grade connection, in order to host a cluster of Tor hidden servers.
I may offer hosting to anonymous customers exclusively in exchange for Bitcoin over Tor to help offset the cost, I have not decided yet.
I would offer this cluster of services as a complement to, and in addition to, existing Silk Road services over Tor.
I do not intend to, nor do I wish to, compete directly with Silk Road for attention or money, however, to be blunt, I need a hobby, and I do not expect Dread Pirate Roberts to seriously entertain thoughts of allowing me to assist him with existing services.
The only real option to help the SR community is by hosting (and paying for) my own servers.
I do not mind doing this, provided that there is real interest in the services I would host.
A small list of services I would provide for members of the SR community include but are not limited to:
Gitorious (code revision control)
StatusNet (microblogging)
SMF (forums)
InspIRCd (chatrooms)
MediaGoblin (music and video sharing)
Electrum Server (easier Bitcoin management)
Mailman (mailing lists)
OpenTransactions Server (experimental payment system)
PmWiki (wiki content management)
Sobby (collaborative text editor)
and possibly much more!
What do you think?
Would any of you guys be interested in this?
