We're a hostile direct competitor to them. They are two things:

a) a mixnet that's too slow for web traffic.

This is okay, but it should be packaged into chat apps itself. I doubt Monero users will put transactions through it over Tor nodes. I doubt it has any purpose for email, as most people are brainwashed with proton and setting up email on a VPS is beyond most people. So the only real use is chat apps.

b) 2 hop Wireguard.

For this we are a direct hostile competitor. They ignore the browser fingerprint which is a far greater threat, and they entrust random fucks to host it. Once we decentralize out, our approach will be much better.

I guess you are so busy spamming about Monero, you do not want to spend $1 of Monero, to beta test a Monero-focused network. You'd rather spend your time with the VCs printing money to do propaganda, which by the way is sponsored by the European Union's government. And lacks censorship resistance on the gateways. What a great way to control content, then to remove Tor Onion DNS, and replace it with Nym gateways whose IP can be found out.

Good points. Didn't realize you were a hostile direct competitor. I was genuinely asking because I figure you know more about this topic. I don't have a strong opinion on it mostly because I don't know enough about it.

What intrigued me originally were that some elements of Nym *seemed* like an improvement over your typical VPNs at obfuscating traffic (mixing, fake packets, uniform size packets, multiple hops, etc - in theory). I know it's not a real replacement over Tor/I2P because of the censorship aspects you mentioned.

I've never paid for Nym, and don't currently use it, but I've tried out the free version a few months back and it was noticeably slower at loading pages even with 2-hop. Some apps didn't work at all with it.

I've not tried your software yet, but I will when I get a chance.

Guilty on the Monero spamming 🤣

alright thanks bro. and speaking of monero, prehaps you may have some comments on the most recent podcast
