That said, it raises the partially-rhetorical question: should I spend my $x/month on running a relay or could that money be better used in other places? Generally depends on if you are getting a good deal on bandwidth, i.e. how many terabytes per month for your $x. But I see you are running a relay in Costa Rica, where servers and bandwidth must be much more expensive than e.g. in Europe. I'm not sure how useful a relay in an exotic location, if it's expensive to run and pushes very little traffic. Maybe others can comment. I think it is reasonably priced; $20USD/month for unmetered 100Mb/s.
I am willing to contribute money to Tor because I believe in what it supports. I also believe in small and local businesses, which is why I have the relay in CR where I lived at the time. Now thats great! If youre able to run a relay in "exotic Places" you should do so imho. It increases diversity of the whole network. So far its more beneficial as running a relay in high density areas or more common places! Just as using small business provider instead of the common big and maybe cheaper ones.
