Hi,
apparently this hasn't been discussed here yet. About a month ago, Donncha O'Cearbhaill build https://oniontip.com/ during the Dublin Bitcoin Hackathon. It is a webapp which automatically extracts all Bitcoin addresses set in the ContactInfo variable of the torrc and distributes Bitcoin donations based on the consensus weight.
There are already 100+ relays listed which represent around 5% of the total consensus weight. In just a few weeks they distributed around 125 US$.
There are many other theoretical ways to provide compensation to tor relay operators (see https://blog.torproject.org/blog/tor-incentives-research-roundup-goldstar-pa...)
but I really like this very simple and practical approach.
Thoughts? _______________________________________________ tor-relays mailing list tor-relays@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-relays
I myself added a bitcoin address to the ContactInfo variable of my nodes when I saw a tweet about this initiative. It is a nice way to offer a way to donate to multiple node running volunteers instead of donating to a specific person or organization. My nodes take up 20% of the current donations based on consensus so it would be nice if more relay operators take part in this project to make it resemble the current Tor network better. - -- Tim Semeijn pgp 0x08CE9B4D -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG/MacGPG2 v2.0.19 (Darwin) Comment: GPGTools - http://gpgtools.org iQEcBAEBCgAGBQJT55CmAAoJEB4F+FYIzptNpPQIAJ8JpkdkwC+mrxEtYLemHCzk dPl6bB14XMS9JK1gefNbTBhwlp+eDJp6PPvtk8xzEkyen7J/7cKUr34h+S2liBp7 jrWuCc+dZffEwzTEGxqBEP0weR/9ECwfRAWtABxll5JtaSIl/TJRDUtbs6P5apnu vxris1S1e2dBt7w5e71PhR9e3rmAaCps8QzH2MKFCm5RGaN3FSPVUteRzdzppWZo QG2RFQJ29kbNf7qyFDD/Epy0xKaBNbgWJwsOyRrn/yT8FQ29mpfNxKZ3zvwV5vDC 8NQ0uNWpvzzx8AFfAsi5+rRe1rcsiiZIhG5rpdSHt2hd41F8jk+cvJnHeg8rcrc= =C8v+ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
