Wondering what everyone thinks about this?

Don't want random illegal traffic associated with my IP? They apparently have a whitelist of sites and are implementing a "network slicing" option so you can select the traffic you want to host.

Thinking this is a big nope for now but the idea of a decentralised VPN sounds like a step in the right direction.

Situation 1: You use this as your VPN, and try to go to any of the sites with which you might want to be protected by a VPN. The only things not blacklisted are Youtube, Twitter, Facebook, and... that's pretty much it. Enjoy!

Situation 2: You sign up to be a node, and don't immediately blacklist pretty much everything that isn't those mentioned above. Congrats! You've made $0.67 in their currency this week! Oh, btw, here are 315 DMCA notices for copyright infringement done under your IP's identity today alone.

Two words "Gas Fees"

This is a scam.

It wouldn't so much be the traffic (although that is a problem,) it's that they're probably using your PC to do the hashing.
