Here is what I don't understand: Let's say I as a private individual fund 1000 tor nodes (guard and exit nodes included) and have them all log everything. This could cost less than $5000 for a month, with some time needed to get guard node status.

I want to find a certain kind of person so I look for people that access a specific hidden service or clearnet url.

Surely eventually I'm going to get a hit where all three nodes in the circuit are my nodes that are logging everything? It will take a long time, and I can't target a specific person, but eventually I can find someone who has all three bounces through tor nodes I control, no?
