Either monero or cash is fine as payment. You don't need to support both.
I can not take any privacy service seriously which does not accept monero and/or cash. You exceed expectations by not even including kyc'd payment methods.
Your landing page does not load at all without javascript. For a privacy service this is an immediate red flag. It doesn't have to be pretty, but I expect to be able to read all text without JS.
I'm not a fan of your "litepaper". It contains too much marketing (mission statement, ownership, zero knowledge praise) and user guide (website, payment, dashboard, referral). The first block belongs on an about us page, the second on an faq page. As it is right now, it feels a bit like a shitcoin whitepaper. Instead use it to exclusively explain how your tech works, and why I it is better then what your competition does.
Ultimately you could just be another ANOM, and it's up to you to sufficiently proof you aren't. Sorry to be this harsh, but your presentation does not give me the confidence to even try your service.
- There are plenty of VPNs that accept credit cards Paypal etc etc
- There are plenty of VPNs that have company and contact information on their website

God I wish more artists would support direct donations. Yoink the file from wherever and in exchange sneak 10 bucks into the artists pockets.
Which breakthrough do you mean? Can you rephrase your question?
The signal does not care about how it gets from the sender to the receiver. The only thing that matters is that at the receivers end 0s and 1s can be separated. One common measurement is the eye pattern. If the eye is "open" enough (=matches the spec), communication is possible.
Impedance mismatch causes reflections (visible as oscillation after rising/falling edge), differential pair line mismatch degrades the slop of the signal transition (rising/falling edge). Geometric features only matter if they are large compared to the signal wavelength. As a rule of thumb features smaller then 1/20th of a wavelength can be safely ignored, often times a ratio as large as 1/5 works just fine. USB3 uses 2.5Ghz (5Gbit/s) or 5Ghz (10Gbit/s), where 1/20th result in 3.4mm and 1.7mm respectively (assuming an effective dialectic of 3.17). This is still grossly simplified, because in many real systems you don't control the entire transmission line (eg. user buys a random cable and expects it to work), so it makes sense that the USB consortium specifies eye patterns and factors in various system uncertainties.
RAM on the other hand uses 16/32/64/128 single ended data lines, with a dedicated clock line. Data does not have to arrive perfectly at the same time, but the margin may be as little as 1/10th of a clock cycle. Here accurate length matching is absolutely required. Its also the reason why the same CPU + RAM combination may archive higher stable clock rates on some mainboards then on others.
USB3 is quite forgiving regarding the layout. The standard +-10% impedance matching is fine, and because there is no dedicated clock line you don't need to do length matching either. Even differential pair length mismatch is not that big of a deal. If 0.1mm is easy to archive, sure go for it, but I'd rather compromise on this in favor of more important parameters.
I don't want to rent the battery in my car.
That is why.
destroy [...] assets [...] for the public good
The public would greatly benefit if we destroyed assets of lobbyists and their funders! You're drafting the law for that, right? Right?
Creating a bot that spams upvotes on your own instance is easy. And so is blocking all downvotes. But either approach does not really fit this instance, and I'd argue we'd loose one of our major advantages.
If you want to help out and have sufficient skill, I'd highly appreciate some method to detect bots and spammers reliably, so that those accounts could be flagged automatically.
Love that this was posted on a french instance - and that I got to see it thanks to federation.
Would you mind exporting some of your innovation to your neighbors? I think we have demand too :)
