gollark: I think you could make that work.
gollark: Also, I meant sticking your node between A and B and just using A's connection for backhaul for B, not providing your own connection.
gollark: But you would have to pay for that.
gollark: (The alternative of paying per middle node... fixes some problems and introduces exciting new ones)
gollark: (Although that breaks horribly too, since you're incentivized to run 10000 middle nodes which funnel money to you for your own connection)
