Incentives and Censorship Resistance for Mixnets Revisited (Transcript of Discussion)

Abstract

So in your model, the supply of mix nodes and the costs, especially of your software engineers, are most likely situated in rather rich and expensive countries whereas the demand is more likely in countries that are currently developing, which are weaker in purchasing power compared to a global dollar standard. How do you deal with this difference that the people who want to buy access to Nym potentially have less money than you need to run the Nym mixnet because Nym is basically operating in a high cost environment.
