The following is a list of current sponsors, and a list of past sponsors, for the TOR project. I think it would be a good idea if we contact them, stating we are aware of their current (or past) sponsorship of the TOR project, and tell them we intend to provide some long-needed friendly 'competition' to the TOR project. And say that we would appreciate having the same per-node donations that they donated to the TOR project.
I am probably not the best one to make this pitch, since my 'reputation' seems to be a bit 'tarnished'. Okay, who here is the LEAST scandalous and outrageous?
