Status plans to incentivize node operators for decentralized messaging protocol
According to the project, one of the pushes for its development was Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin recently encouraging developers to consider non-financial applications for DeFi. Ethereum-based project Status has started an incentivization program for node operators around its decentralized peer-to-peer messaging protocol, Waku.In an announcement today, Status said it would be rolling out the first phase of a program to encourage people to set up and run nodes used by Waku, a private messenger based on the Whisper protocol. The project said it planned to offer up to $100 worth in its....

The Onion Router. Following the Electronic Frontier Foundation challenge to increase the number of Tor relays, researchers from Yale University Miles Richardson, in collaboration with Mainak Ghosh, Professor Bryan Ford, and Tor community leader Rob Jansen, have announced TorCoin, a new altcoin which relies on the bitcoin protocol. TorCoin aims to solve the Tor network shortage of nodes problem by allowing the relay node to mine coins which can then be sold on the free market. It uses a proof of bandwidth concept, instead of proof of work. To ensure that actual bandwidth is transferred, it....
