I agree, but the premise of that thread was that this approach could:
a) leverage ethical and legal issues
b) could be unfeasible

So i am not pointing out if "it's good to do it or not" but if it would
be "feasible or not" and in which proportion .

Let's make some hobbyist study on it and evaluate how 'an adv based tor
sustainability model' would work on a spreadsheet :-)

At least to know the hypothetical cost/return ratio:
With 100GB of tor traffic, how much GB of additional Tor traffic you
could buy?

p.s. see you at ccc camp, i am at Italian Embassy in front of French Embassy
