Tor should either use Bitcoin or there should be network built on top of LN/Nostr so those middleman nodes are properly incentivized. I understand that user would have to acquire Bitcoin first but that is the only way to go.

I came here to write a similar thing. Ultimately, Tor is trying to impose an economic cost on would-be attackers. You can make up something PoW-like to convey some of this, but it seems like the most direct way to do this would be as you say, and skip to the end.

These people need a Rabble kind of moment. Grow out of their Bitcoin misconceptions and do whats best to reach their goal.

Rendezvous routing is literally putting traffic through a middleman. It's weak against DoS inherently. Connectionless is the way it should be done.
Pretty messed up the only option people have for privacy is a network of "volunteers". I mean, does anyone seriously believe that the majority of them aren't being run by spooks already?
What reason does anyone have for running a Tor relay, even just an inner network relay? I have run one at times but even without providing exit service the spam-weakness of the system leads to you getting blacklisted everywhere.
Nobody ever does anything for free without getting something via another way. The naivete of the people is amazing.

I'm in favor in solutions like this. Let's hope it works out.
At this point it's clear that Tor has problems. And that something needs to be done.
