Hi Mitar,

firstly, my linode server is hosting for my small sites, NOT for Tor
service. But because I use only about 30-40 GB per month for my sites, I
decided to give rest to Tor network. So your calculation is faulty - I pay
nothing to give 360 GB per month for Tor ;)

Although Im big Tor fan, I think it is better idea to run Tor in unused
bandwith (like me) on plenty of computers rather than pay together few big
centralized servers (like you offer). Firstly, using unused bandwidth is for
free. And it is also more secure.
