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)
gollark: (I'm assuming that you pay a fixed amount per packet or something which is split between all the nodes participating in sending that)
gollark: If I am paid for being a middle node, I would get money for going between A and B with a jammer, so that B can't connect with A directly, and providing a new node.
