Hi SiNA,

There is a hardware device where we have focused efforts and we're
having internal discussions about how to proceed. This has been a
skunkswork project and it is unfunded - the hardware platform we've
selected is as open as it gets without being a MilkyMist, which would be
ideal (FPGA CPU, etc) but is sadly impractical.

We don't have a Tor Router hardware deployment for a few reasons. Off
the top of my head: we would want to raise funds to support Tor Router
specific development, user support, tooling for hardware production and
then ongoing costs related to the project.

All the best,
Jake
