That discussion actually brought forward some interesting arguments in favour of Crypto Storm. The token system you mentioned (but which is not unique anymore) is one. I particularly noticed that if you connect to their VPN their DNS allows you to resolve .onion and .i2p domains in the normal browser. Not best practice due to browser fingerprinting I assume, but I still like it.
Yes I agree that was pretty disgusting to find out (bestiality)
That doesn’t have to be a bad thing. We also don’t know who created Bitcoin or Monero.
