How about the inverse question, what are some properties of a *less valuable* relay? Answers to this also help. One that comes to mind is one <100 kbps. What the minimum floor for a valuable relay these days? Second, I've also heard discussion that Amazon EC2 relays are relatively non-helpful.

I’m currently working with Dr. Virgil Griffith on Roster, a tor project that aims to reward relay operators with good relays. Right now we are brainstorming how to measure/quantify a good relay. Besides the obvious requirements of a good relay (e.g. speed, geo-diversity, constant uptime)
