If there were available open source server software for a new protocol similar to NNTP, with optional moderated and secret hierarchies, and a built-in mixnet for secret, encrypted hierarchies, which of you would
install and run the server?

i may consider to run that service not before having seen that program
If there were available open source server software for a new protocol similar to NNTP, with optional moderated and secret hierarchies,
How many people would actually run such server?
Would there be a demand
Serious question. Serious and direct answers only, please.

The protocol design would use special cryptographic primitives to enable secret hierarchies without revealing the content of the groups therein.
All peers would route encrypted mix messages by default, unless
specifically disabled by admin. All mix messages would be broken up into standard-size packets and delay switch routed randomly to obfuscate origin.
Initially I would not be shipping with a specialized client. That would
come later. The initial server would respond to some usenet commands
from newsreaders like Thunderbird, Pan, etc. But those clients would not
be able to use the encrypted mix features.
Client proof-of-work would be used to mitigate spam and flood attack. Optional signup and authentication would be available for admins who
don't want random anonymous users and the spam headaches.
The protocol would not interoperate with NNTP servers, which would be
totally incompatible with the cryptography and routing architecture.
It would be designed for zero-configuration setup and automatic peering
of public text groups out of the box. Just copy the binary to path, set
a cron or init script to run it, and done. It would automatically sync
with randomly-chosen peers and switch to a new peer every few minutes.
How many people would actually run such server? Would there be a demand
to justify polishing it for production use in the wild?
