[tor-relays] OnionTip.com distributes Bitcoin donations to all BTC addresses set in ContactInfo

[ban@xxxxxxxxx]

Hi,

apparently this hasn't been discussed here yet.
About a month ago, Donncha O'Cearbhaill build https://oniontip.com/ 
during the Dublin Bitcoin Hackathon.
It is a webapp which automatically extracts all Bitcoin addresses set in 
the ContactInfo variable of the torrc and distributes Bitcoin donations 
based on the consensus weight.

There are already 100+ relays listed which represent around 5% of the 
total consensus weight. In just a few weeks they distributed around 125 
US$.

There are many other theoretical ways to provide compensation to tor 
relay operators (see 
https://blog.torproject.org/blog/tor-incentives-research-roundup-goldstar-par-braids-lira-tears-and-torcoin) 
but I really like this very simple and practical approach.

Thoughts?
