I think it is reasonably priced; $20USD/month for unmetered 100Mb/s. I am willing to contribute money to Tor because I believe in what it supports. I also believe in small and local businesses, which is why I have the relay in CR where I lived at the time. So perhaps to reframe my question as something more concrete. If someone is going to support the Tor project with $20/month, should they: - Run what seems like a high-capacity non-exit? - Run a handful of bridges? - Send them $20 every month? I realize this is a moving target--although it would be nice to understand generally--and it ignores putting the $20/month into other projects, organizations, more beer, etc. hope you are well tim _______________________________________________ tor-relays mailing list tor-relays@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-relays
