1. Abstract

In this paper we introduce TorCoin, a distributed consensus protocol based on the Bitcoin

block chain. This protocol will be used to establish new nodes on the network, and to

determine node validity and bandwidth. TorCoin will run in collaboration with TorFlow, an

existing code designed to determine bandwidth and monitor node behavior, using an RPC

interface. To handle the computational costs of mining, we propose to partially outsource

these costs to the Bitcoin network using the existing work sharing protocol. We discuss our

implementation and provide an analysis of security concerns. Finally, we provide proof of

concept, along with potential directions for future work.
