Re: [tor-relays] Individual Operator Exit Probability Threshold

[livak <livak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Conrad:

I'm pretty sure I'm taking your offer about the free trial.

I'm having a question, though:

I think there are no compiled tor relay packages for BSD,
so I may compile it on my own, right ?

One person who runs an exit within this group has the fastest exit in Canada at this point. $15/mo is three cups of coffee from Starbucks, a meal at a restaurant, or going to a movie. I have been told that this is an excessive charge and quite frankly some of the excuses I read were ridiculous.

Get a couple of people to throw you $10, you throw in a couple of bucks, then bam, done. Easy day, mission accomplished, and not in the Bush way either.
