Wow! So it turns out your nostr privkey can be used to run a tor service. You just put the key in the directory and start tor. It generates the keys for you.
But there's more. Because your tor key is also a #pubky.
Now you can add this to your uncensorable pubky DNS record. This turns every npub into an uncensorable Tor domain.
I've barely figured out the implications of this. You can have your own website without paying for a domain and users are protected from observation. You can have your own personal protected storage. Any npub can become a mint and connect to the lightning network. You can run a relay. It's a whole new surface for innovation!
