I saw some threads going about this and a bunch of retards going on about "hurr who would use crypto VPN". You guys DON'T fucking get it.

1. Why is decentralized VPN valuable?
>can't be shut down by a central authority: no single point of failure because it runs on blockchain
>Fresh daily IPs. Ever tried to post on 4chan from behind a VPN? You almost never can because every major VPN is blocked. In places like China this is a HUGE problem where the govt blocks all major VPN providers. Instantly solved by this service when you have hundreds of different IPs popping up every day.
>Crypto payments ensure anonymity. You will never have to register an account, provide an email, etc to connect

2. Hurr why would anyone run a node? The FBI will come to my house & shut me down!!
>there are already 400+ nodes up and running: https://mvp.mysterium.network/
>There are THOUSANDS of TOR nodes running and there has literally never been a case of somebody convicted for running one. This will be no different on Mysterium. People will be safe from a legal perspective.
>People will see this as a business opportunity. I am already looking into options to rent servers, set up multiple VPN nodes on them and generate passive income with this. Once this shit becomes mainstream it'll be unstoppable.
>Literally any company with massive amounts of unused bandwidth but who doesn't have the technical expertise to set up VPN infrastructure will flock to this to generate additional revenue.

I could go on. Am I shilling? Sure, I don't really care. I've already made a killing off the ICO & I don't plan on selling for 2 more years+ anyway. I really don't give a fuck about short term price. I just saw a shitload of misinformation going on about this & needed to correct it. If you don't see the concrete value in this you lack VISION and you're just never going to make it in crypto (or business in general). This is an opportunity given to you on a golden platter.

I'm planning on running exit nodes too, but please do recognize the security issues are not completely solved yet. Whereas there are no legal problems at first glance, remember you're the only one they'll be able to track when CP goes through your node; at the very least, ISPs can choose to terminate you if you're causing too much trouble. Centralized VPNs are viable because they are basically in bed with governments and actually willing to turn you in if anything shady comes up. This has great potential for profit and freedoms, but also great potential for a witch hunt.

I agree, actually. This is a long term hold for me. I'm glad that devs have indicated that they plan on implementing chaining options (as one possible way of reducing risk).

This project still has a long way to go but I believe in the team, and with the funding they've received I have no doubt they'll be able to execute.

Personally i don't like the way the ETH ecosystem is going. All those tokens are reliant on the parent chain.

Everything is great when it's going well, but what happens when we get into a bear market? Another DAO happens? What if something terrible becomes of VB?

Just as most alts rely on btc, when ETH tanks, and it will, what goes up comes down, all these ETH tokens are going to feel a pain worse than ETH.

I don't think ETH can survive without his cult of personality at this point, and he's a single, very visible, point of failure. Not in my risk wheelhouse

I don't think Vitalik himself is so important that the blockchain itself would be at risk without him. Price is kind of another matter (though I do know it matters for chain security) but still not that big of a threat to these tokens' success IMO.

Matter of opinion though so it's your call.

Hola does the same thing for the normie faggots
Also
>can't be shut down by a central authority: no single point of failure because it runs on blockchain
It can easily be shut down by acquiring the addresses of the VPN's from the blockchain, just like most Tor exit nodes are banned since they're publicly listed, and how repressive governments ban entry nodes and force people to use bridge nodes which sometimes aren't publicly known nor listed
>>2464097
>But why does it need block chain? Or tokenization?
It doesn't, it's just another ICO ponzi
The government will go against people actually getting paid for VPN services, just like they do with companies that offer VPN services, this is what faggots shilling miss
They don't fuck too much with exit node operators since they don't get any remuneration for their services
This doesn't actually do nothing to stop the government from backdooring the VPN's, so people will just let the FBI handle their nodes after they get them knocking on their door

You're missing the point. This isn't geared towards criminals or people who want hyper-anonymity. This is going to be used to bypass government firewalls, access blocked websites, use Netflix from foreign (p.s. Netflix now blocks most VPNs - this solves that) and all, more importantly, at a much lower cost. You can't use major VPNs on most websites because IPs have always already been used and blacklisted. This is again a solution.

Literally every counterargument in this thread is either a non-issue, misses the point, or is something that will get solved as developmemt progresses.
