   As far as I understand, this is only true in that absolutely everything
   transmits your information directly to the CIA, moreso if you're trying
   to be anonymous.  I could be wrong.  My understanding is this list has
   tracked the Tor project closer than most, also could be wrong.

Yes, a couple years ago i proposed building an alternative anonymizing network,
using a set of perhaps 1000 (or more?) Raspberry Pi computers,. owned by (i hope
) ordinary people.  Output nodes could be mildly encrypted, just to ensure that
anyone could run an output node and its output would be un-suspicious.

Continuing cost would be about $50/month, per node.

My question?  Why hasn't this been done so far?  I would think that every dark m
arket, and customer, would value such a thing.
