  The bandwidth is low by design. I’ve excluded files and images to keep it down as well. You could talk 24/7 only use MBs.

  If we want Tor to grow we need useful applications useful for everyone. I doubt this will be widely adopted.

  I’ve contributed a large amount of bandwidth to the network so why can’t I use some?

  Creating more mainstream use-cases is how you get people to donate more bandwidth.

    How does a regular person donate bandwidth?

      By partaking in it.

  Plain speech can be compressed pretty well. I’m not an expert by any means, but I suspect latency would be the bigger issue.

    Latency is a huge issue, but it goes away with the PTT model. I tried full duplex on initial prototyping but it was trash.

    PTT forces solves this by simply forcing the listen, digest, then respond. You can expect about 2-3 seconds of delay from when you release the ptt, to when the other side hears it.

      That makes sense. Thanks, I was still half asleep and didn’t register the PTT.

  Yeah, unless they use specific nodes given by the community, i think it’s a bad idea
