Two problems with proclamations like these:

A) Tor network gets even more DigitalOcean based relays, which are already
kind of discouraged due to them comprising an overly significant part of the
network as it is;

B) tons of very heavy bandwidth users sign up at DO all at once (not to
mention all using the free credit coupon!), putting an increased load on their
networks, and quite likely moving the "Implement bandwidth billing" thing up in
priorities a notch or two (which will end up diminishing the value of DO's
offers for many of their users, not just for Tor relay operators).

IOW you could do better than posting the entire thing here. :)
