Sorry but reading these kinds of things is kind of demoralizing. --
I'm not going to do a "me too" post, but some of us pay for relays with their own funds for years, which easily do 30-40 MB/sec combined, receiving zero donations -- then some guy with a 3 MB/sec relay comes around and people jump at the chance to send him hundreds of Euros just because.
Oh I know mine are not Exit relays, so those are not special enough, nothing to see here, move along.
We have a saying in Italian that says "Chiedere è lecito, rispondere è cortesia". Roughly translated "Asking is allowed, answering is courtesy", that is you can ask for whatever you want, maybe somebody will respond, or don't, whatever.
I am happy to see that there is a community where people can ask for and receive help in many forms.
Of course, in general, if somebody wants to chip in funding remember that you can: * donate to Tor project * get together to run machines * donate to groups that run many machines (see torservers.net)
We could start talking about which is the most efficient way to spend money, but should we?
