Why are you then complaining if you do not accept money for running your relays?!
Where do you see any complaining? I guess you misunderstood my mail.
If other people are getting support in keeping their relays up and running, that's fine and I am quite happy for them. I have re-read my mail multiple times and can't fathom how one could interpret that mail as "complaining". It merely states that - although we don't need any funding for operational expenses - donations for upgrades are more than welcome.
I personally do not have any problems with contributing, you earn my full respect, but I do have problems with relay operators who are complaining about others getting funded.
Where did I do that? Why would I possibly complain about anyone funding other relays? This makes no sense. It's good for the network if that happens and allows diversity.
Maybe a change in your strategy would make the life of your precious and fast relays a bit easier...
I have shut down our "precious and fast relays" recently as we decided unanimously that the tor-community does not need or appreciate our support. Just to make it clear: "appreciate" in this context doesn't mean funding. All those yearswe didn't get as much as a "thank you!" from anyone. The >500mbit/s of bandwidth from our diversely peered network which we continuously shoveled into the tor network for the past years can now be used for more worthwhile projects.
How's that for a "change in strategy"?
Cheers.
p.s. sorry for the delayed reply. I just peek into the folder with this list every now and then, due to the high volume and bad SNR. As I don't have any further interest in the tor project I'll be also unsubscribing shortly. So long and thanks for all the fish!
