Receiving an anonymous payment is just a small part of the problem. The bigger 
question is what services to provide.
*Services to totally anonymous users, e.g. Tor and remailers
*Services to users identified by some token, e.g. anonymous web hosting
*Services to users identified by real-life info
Once I have some services set up, I have to find customers or supporters. I 
don't know if supporters will pay enough to keep a fast relay running. I may 
have to get identifiable customers and run the anonymous services on the 
side.

I've had a suggestion to run a rendering farm, but rejected it because it 
requires lots of CPU power rather than bandwidth. I've also thought of 
running a backup service or mirroring files for download. Any other 
suggestions?
