Re: [tor-talk] Wikileaks is the Endgame
If that log is accurate, the most important part of that transcript IMO is the
discussion about funding. Both Mike Perry and Jacob Appelbaum agreed
in it that the current funding model "comprimises" the project (their word).
Preferably someone from Tor can answer this: Why can't Tor use a funding
model similar to Wikipedia? For better or for worse Tor is currently synonymous
with online anonymity (or the best semblance of it available), in the same
way Wikipedia is synonymous with online encyclopedia.
If you just stood up and said, "Help us get out of this Faustian bargain," the
people and organizations that rely on your software would certainly help
find a way to raise the money needed to support your work. Especially after
reading a chat log that shows how aggressive and twisted the attacks againstyour work are.
