Also, Bitcoin is not anonymous [1]. So while relays are public, generally the Tor clients take great pains to not disclose their identities. If clients starting tipping relays, to their relay public key, a good attacker would guess would be that a Tor client used that relay. Then I think some linkage attacks would be possible.
Also, and I think this was discussed on this list before, offering payment may actually decrease the number of volunteers [2]. I was initially interested in researching a technical way to offer payments to relays by the clients joining a mining pool and somehow paying the relay from the pool (something like ring signatures). But there is a lot of technical complexity linking these two systems. Also, as evidenced by Roman's email and [2], this may shift social behaviors in the Tor network for the worse.
