While it is a good tool, I really wouldn't recommend it for complete crowdsourcing. Rather, if you have someone in Iran you want to help stay connected, set up Psiphon and give them the credentials. That way, both of you know to trust the other. Herdict is an interesting project. Hadn't seen it before, I'll have to definitely check it out! Regarding donations: Bit of self-promotion but right now NedaNet (http://nedanet.com) is also seeking donations to help us form our 501c3. You can find a donate button on emsenn.com, for now. (We're hoping to put one on NedaNet's site, eventually) There are some complaints regarding Psiphon and the fact that it allows the servers to monitor what their clients are using.
