Re: "Dmytrij's anonymous VPS"


This is only interesting if you are not on the Internet.
Either VPS server as a hidden service, or otherwise "Tor only" or you set up a parallel (local ?) network.
Otherwise, you're just an ISP, no matter what kind of bread crumbs you take as payment, and the hammer is going to come down on things that call themselves "ISPs".
Think banking rules, but with no big cartel to keep them (relatively) industry friendly.

I would be interested.

But how anonymous are bitcoins? With traditional money, only the
government gets to watch you spend it. With BitCoin, now the entire
community gets to watch!

Hello bitcoiners,

I'm investigating if here is a demand for anonymous VPS (virtual
private servers) service. I have multicore beast server lying around,
many years experiences with linux administration and also experiences
with Tor hidden services.

I was thinking about anonymous VPS many years before. There were
attemps to do on Tor network, but payments were always problem. There
were some free hostings, but quality was always poor. I found bitcoins
recently and now feel I have all pieces to do VPS hosting powerful and
thanks to bitcoins - really anonymous.

My idea is simple - provide "no question" service. I don't know my
customers is and customers don't know who I am. This is huge advantage
in contrast to Vekja because nobody know where the server is located
 and
how to shut down it. I provide 1 or more CPU cores, few hundreds MB RAM
and few onion addresses routed to VPS ports. Customer
will send me few bitcoins every week. Simple.

Only one pitfail is here. Because of strong anonymity, all inbound and
outbound traffic is routed to Tor network. No direct connection to
Internet. Never. It makes system management slower, but anonymity is
the main concern.

Users can access server using Tor network or directly from Internet
using great service http://tor2web.com/ (hidden services are indexed by
  Google).

Price. My offer is 1 core @ 3GHz and 512MB RAM, SLA 99% (minus glitches
on
Tor network) for 30 bitcoins per week. But I'm open to discussion here
for first users. I need at least 3 users to pay housing. Please comment
here or send me anonymous message to https://privacybox.de/dmytrij.msg

I swear to send 20% of bitcoins to providers of torservers.net and
tor2web.com. First one because they are Tor relay providers accepting
bitcoins and second one cause their service is needed for my
anonymous VPS. They do not accept bitcoins yet, but I expect it is
temporary Smiley.

  Cheers,
Dmytrij
