This is an interesting project:

"Nym improves on existing alternatives via mix-networking. The Sphinx packet format renders all data packets a uniform size, the traffic is mixed probabilistically with timing obfuscation, cover traffic is added, and multiple hops ensure users do not have to trust a single node. This mixing defeats the kinds of traffic-analysis attacks that can deanonymize packets on VPNs, Tor and I2P. In addition, Nym uses blockchain technology to decentralize the operations of the mixnet so that the network has no centralized points of failure."

Traffic analysis is still an issue for Tor/i2p

I'll take a better read about this when I get back from work tonight, it's interesting.

Thanks for the share, this is interesting. I doubt this statement somewhat: "Those who control the internet control the future of our species." (from here: https://nymtech.net/nym-litepaper.pdf), but I have to read the while thing first.
Traffic analysis is something that can't be helped in low latency networks afaik, you would need the freenet approach for this.

they may have a point though.

try competing against a movement that utilizes the net when ureself is cut off the power-grid.

gonna be tricky.
