Hello,
I am working on a project to create very small Tor nodes on embedded devices connected over LTE or 3G. I have it working fine with OpenWRT and just 128MB of RAM, but the main issue is now the amount of data needed to download the consensus. The consensus files appear to be around 2.3MB at the moment and I think the default is to re-download every 3 hours, so that's 18.4MB/day or 552MB/month. Is there any way to reduce this while still maintaining good citizenship on the Tor network? Are there any recommended options for low-bandwidth nodes?
Thank you,
Razvan
