Hi !
In a an older thread I read:
Like Teor mentioned, it's important for operators to increase capacity and stability, while still meaningfully supporting diversity. Emerald Onion is not going to surpass 10% of exit capacity without first helping ~10 other groups set up and manage their own 1%+ relays. As more and more high-capacity groups come online, I think orgs like Quintex and Emerald Onion can slowly increase capacity but stick around the 10% line.
Is there any help for setting up new high capacity exit relays ?

If you have questions there are many who will answer them in this list.
There are soooo many factors that come into play.
How much are you willing to spend How to communicate to the ISP What hardware you are going to need IPv6 support ISP firewall rules DNS - running your own
I found it hard working out what the threshold was for data - all the ISPs I have been using seem to wack you if there is too much bad traffic and/or too much bandwidth used. I now have throttled to 10MbiT/s at this point. I will slowly ramp them up over the next 12months.
Teor and Nusenu gave me a lot of help and suggestions. There is no right or wrong answer, just takes time getting it right and stable for you.
Just post any questions and it will be answered.

I understand most technical issues are solvable.
My question was pointed to another way.
I mean, how hard may it be to find sponsors to set up tor relays ?
At the end, all kind of organizations seem to benefit from the tor network, and they may be wiling help !

Thanks "I",
About finding sponsors for high speed exits, it could be nice to gather ideas. On the other side, if someone wants to contact me to develop the idea, I'm ready for it.

Good idea, Livak.

The first thing corporate sponsors always ask when you ask them for money (or services in kind), and I know this as I have done nonprofit work in the past after I retired from the US Navy, is the following question, paraphrased for brevity:
“What skin are you going to have in the game?”
You’re not going to administer a relay for multiple hours each day, how many hours are you going to spend fundraising for this project each day, oh and you’re running something that has the chance to give us bad publicity anyway (to the average user of XYZ Internet Services.)
More times than not, accepting something for donation is more work than just purchasing it yourself, or getting a person or two together and pooling your money together. Things can be cheaper in the long run, just my $0.02 from experience.
I do wish you success in developing this idea though, I really do. Don’t consider this me crapping all over your idea, just consider this practical experience from me having the door slammed in my face numerous times while trying to help inner city youth with technology, a noble goal that still resulted in many door slams.
Thanks,
Conrad
