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) teor teor2345 at gmail dot com pgp 0xABFED1AC https://gist.github.com/teor2345/d033b8ce0a99adbc89c5 teor at blah dot im OTR D5BE4EC2 255D7585 F3874930 DB130265 7C9EBBC7
