I agree completely teor. I, of course, use a back-up computer for
this donation. It's also my tor backup. If need be, I can tear the
whole OS down and start over in an hour. I'm a bioengineer and
support Stanford's efforts 100%. But each person has to make her
own mind up. Thanks to all who have volunteered brain cells, money,
hardware to secure communications and anonimity.<br>

<div>Installing additional software increases the attack surface
of your relay, even more so when the new software access the
network. (Not to mention any additional libraries.) There is
also the issue of the security of automatic updates to the any
executables - Folding@home may have less of an issue with this
than BOINC, as there is only one project involved.</div>

only impacts your provider and the environment…)</div>

<span>Forgive my paranoia, but I couldn't find proof that it
really helps what </span><br>

<span></span><br>
<span>Any different experience?</span><br>
