Dear Roger, Thanks for the information. I wanted to run a relay from home to support the project but I may instead contribute financially.
One of the up sides of a tor exit relay is the false traffic generated. Our meta data is now collected and I like the idea of filling it with junk traffic. Maybe the protocol could be modified to allow ad-hoc de-listed exit nodes for burst capacity or as a way to reduces blockages. Anyhow I am sure there are minds better than mine working at it. For now I will consult the documentation and contribute financially. Cheers!
