I?m currently working with Dr. Virgil Griffith on Roster, a tor project that aims to reward relay operators with good relays.
Right now we are brainstorming how to measure/quantify a good relay.
Besides the obvious requirements of a good relay (e.g. speed, geo-diversity, constant uptime), what qualities make a relay valuable to the Tor network and its users?
Autonomous System diversity, and similarly, IP-netblock diversity Operator diversity (ContactInfo, MyFamily) Operating System diversity, perhaps (most of the Tor network is Linux, including BSDs/OS X and others avoids a monoculture, but Windows is considered less secure)
