 Hi ioneyes,

 Thanks for being willing to help out!

 We no longer recommend that people run their Tor relay as a client. It
 makes it too easy for them to be de-anonymised. Much better if they run a
 separate Tor instance for the client and relay.

 It might be best to focus on another patch to start with - try the ones
 tagged "easy" or "intro".
