- They don't own the network. The people who run the relays do. v2 wasn't shutdown in an instant. It was necessary and you could have just redirected your users to v3 and tell them to use it instead but you had to whine about your short-commings on Tor?
It's not only for high-security. It's for the state-of-the-art anonymity.
- https://metrics.torproject.org/userstats-relay-country.html look at the spikes.
- > by using the browser you are not contributing to the networK
That's false to some extent. Tor's promise comes from it's vast population of users. The more users it has, the better it is to improve everyone's anonymity. So in a way, even by using it, you are helping Tor network. And please, save the "criminal" bs (meant for the original comment).
- Operational excellence is of course dependent on the operator but I would still think it's far easier to bring up onion as it's disposable and works behind NAT'ed VMs which makes it further easy to run.
I don't know anything about Nostr since it does not focus on anonymity and isn't as old as Tor (more than 2 decades of research and application), I wouldn't rely on Nostr for anything serious.

- You are missing the entire point. The money itself is fake and artificially generated at will by these authorities. Monero and any major coin has actual value because you can't just create out of thin air. Fiat is on it's edge. Look at monero's price, it's growing at record breaking point. Why? People realize it's true value and anonymity/privacy aspects.
- Yes, it goes both ways but people always focus on monero's crime use which by the way indirectly hardens the protocol. Most people don't like to say it but it's the truth. The world's highest ranking agencies and billion dollar companies like chanalysis cannot break it, which means it actually works and the reason those actors wanna crack monero is because of some "illicit" usage.
It's an indirect audit being conducted all the time. The best chainanalysis could come up with was running malicious nodes to deanonymize users.
- > Your own private bank which cannot interact with most financial institutions and merchants?
That's the whole point. Why would an privacy coin wanna interact with a corrupted banking sector? It's clearly not for you since you can't even see the actual point. You can use the banks, like everyone and let them profile (and sell your data), track and own your whole life.
- Banks launder money for extreme illicit activities. Look at TD Bank or HSBC, they were find record breaking for laundering cartel money. Your naivety is not surprising since you refuse to dig deeper and discover the actual truth. Banks and govt doesn't care about you. Their purpose is to deceive, steal and manipulate their true motive from general population. They own your whole life.
