Another amateur relay operator here, i run the node "namelesshero"
and I sure hope however this cost reimbursing plan eventually pans
out, it won't discourage small folk like us from running relays. I,
too, believe the exact opposite is desirable instead. I'll admit i'm
not quite sure if i understand the concept here but mixing monetary
compensation with voluntary activity doesn't sound good to me at a
first look. And before someone thinks i'm suggesting everyone should be compensated if some people are: Personally, running the relay costs me pretty damn near nothing at all (save for the headache when it refuses to work). I would pay for the connection regardless, the hardware was obtained second(or third)-hand for free and since it has other duties in the local network, it would be running 24/7 even without Tor so electricity is not a problem. Might as well put the extra bandwidth and CPU cycles to some good use. The fuzzy feeling of helping is compensation in itself. On 18.09.2013 20:36, Rick wrote:
