Note that Tor works without “incentives” or charging for messages…it is a different system but that is something to consider.

I would say that has been donation funded though. Which is great but has it's sustainability pit falls.

It is very generous of you to say that TOR works.

As of today…. 11,205 out of total 15,965 Lightning nodes are Tor Onion Service Nodes…yes, it is choppy and needs much improvement.

Source of the stats : https://1ml.com/statistics

Why are those nodes on TOR rather than on clearnet ?

Privacy reasons mostly

Privacy against whom ?

privacy [ ˈprɪvəsi ], noun

- a state in which one is not observed or disturbed by other people.

- the state of being free from public attention.

😁

Do you want the whole world know your ip of your node and how many times your ip broadcast tx?

“Kinda” works (super slowly). We need better (incentives).
