If bitcoin is to be successful in the long-run in avoiding being co-opted by the government, it is going to need to be sufficiently robust.

Creating alternative tx relay networks and private tx broadcast mechanisms is a great way to increase robustness.

Very cool post. How hard is it to practically ban tor though? Seems like you need to basically cut off the internet, so I'm not too interested in nostr-tx-broadcast since I don't see the benefits over Tor. Totally possible that I'm missing something, as is usual.

LNMesh though, now we're talking. That's super exciting! Not just for areas hit by natural disaster but also in poor countries with unreliable power.

Can’t hurt to build in redundancies! If Tor goes down or becomes unreliable, which has happened in the past, it’s good to have fallback options.
