Here’s my response:
No need to explain the nodes, but thanks anyway.
As I mentioned in point 1, more nodes don’t provide any real benefits.
-> For someone who needs to send a highly valuable 8GB file—compressed and encrypted—to a person who is being persecuted, the 5 nodes won’t resolve the issue urgently; according to the Android client, the speed is 5 Mbps. Using two nodes—at what cost, really? Will it come down to “luck”?
Malicious actors have large-scale adaptation capabilities, such as the NSA; they don’t care about the features implemented by the VPN service.
Worse still, if they pay to keep nodes active, it attracts mafia groups, high-level hackers, etc.—it’s free money. How does the company address this to counteract infiltrated agents, or are there no methods? Will it be similar to or the same as Google 2.0, allowing external APK installation on Android? The second question arises from the first.
Why are you comparing Nym to Tor? I see Nym as having interesting features that are better than Tor’s; however, we have to look at the reality itself (the context).
As I said in point 3, if the company doesn’t prove to me what they claim (“guaranteed”), there’s no point in conducting a deep, exhaustive investigation into the people behind Nym.
I say this from personal experience.
