I don't know enough about Tor, but I'll ask anyway: While I'm too scared to run a Tor exit node, I wonder if we could all help the Chinese people by running what I might call a Tor "entry node"? The idea is that we all run something that can help the Chinese to access Tor, by forwarding connections to Tor. We could hide them inside our normal websites, so that connections to this entry node look like typical HTTPS connections. We could be motivated to run these via bitcoin, where the users have to pay small amounts of bitcoin if they want a high bandwidth connection. If we all run these, then the Great Firewall would have to block very many entire websites ( @c03rad0r )

As in every website comes with a paid socks5 proxy? This reminds me of Epoxy, a paid socks5 proxy for nostr relays that @hzrd149 and @Arjen worked on. That could definitely benefit from spillman channels..
