Because I want to destroy the necessity for telcos to identify my
mobile phone as I walk down the street. So if paying for relays is
a way to deanonymize myself, at least it would be the second best.
But maybe there is a way to get it right, and I don't want to give
up hope on saving humanity from digital doom as yet.

Looks like you understood something like the opposite of what I meant.

This website does not work. Is it trying to require Javascript?

Tor in Javascript? Thank you, but this is totally off-topic.
Have you looked at the law proposal? It is about making a
strong relay node network, not a P2P network.

> Why your physical area? To give a chance to locate where you are?

The first hop knows where you are. The third hop doesn't.
With a thousand relays just in one city it should be
reasonably difficult to trace where your packets went.

Yes, that's why P2P is out of the question here.

Sounds like GNUnet, except for the word "just" that alludes to
something being simple which I know it isn't.

Not applicable.

I can imagine telcos being enthusiastic at the idea that phone
calls are relayed down from antennas to mobile phones just to
come back to the antenna because the mobile phone is merely
acting as a P2P relay... reasonable use of wireless bandwidth.
Not talking of the benefits in latency.
