If you're based in the Asia Pacific, I have some nice grants for you: * http://isif.asia/Grants_TechnicalInnovation * http://isif.asia/ISOC_CybersecGrant * http://www.isif.asia/researchgrant In particular, I think any research about BGP routing in Tor, or otherwise increasing security of BGP or Tor would be lovely research project that I suspect they'd accept. It would also have the side benefit of bringing Asian funders more into the Tor community. -V
