I have 1 idea for this

Why cannot tor be used in such a way: as a home user, i am willing to let tor users use my connection for a few sites. gmail gmx and other mail sites for example.

Can we have some option that lets home tor users share their connections in some limited way?

Good for registrations, I think!

I know they & other providers are trying to prevent spammers, fraud, etc.  I'm none of those, but they don't know me from Adam, even if I tell them I'm using Tor.
