Hello people,
Lisa here (not my real name, neither is this my e-mail address - it was not stolen however, the owner allows me to use it -, nor is it associated with any of my relays that you could possibly find on the Tor Metrics page).
I used to contribute physical resources to the Tor project for a long time now (I don't want to get into too many details, so let's say somewhere between 4 to 7 years) - paying for the co-location of two high-performance dedicated machines , handling nasty abuse reports, you name it.. Anyway each dedicated server was running two Tor instances occccn each single, public IPv4 and IPv6m as this is the maximum
AES hardware acceleration was supported by both physical CPU's, so one instance averaged up to 250mbit/s under full load :-D
However, I am sick of all the needless communication with my hosting providers, who are well aware of what I am doing with their equipment, yet idiotic jewbie support still spams me with abuse reports, occasionally null-routing entire IP's which was not part of the conract (I have a custom contract co-locating two, older machines)..
I am also sick of the Tor staff allowing companies like Team Cymru (short explanation; Team Cymru collects and sells metadata of network connections but not only metadata, also other "valuable" information like zero-day exploits to anyone willing to pay the right price, and much more - they host a bunch of Tor relays and ridges too, which in my opinion should all get the BadExit / similar flag preventing them from being used at all.
Tor code development also moves at a snails pace, we still don't have proper patches for circuit exhaustion attack, comparable to HTTP SlowLoris.
I will hereby distance myself from the tor project completely, and not come back ever.
Please get your shit together @TneTorProject.

Newbie, not jewbie - that was unintentional racism.
