Hi,
apparently this hasn't been discussed here yet.
About a month ago, Donncha O'Cearbhaill build https://oniontip.com/
during the Dublin Bitcoin Hackathon.
It is a webapp which automatically extracts all Bitcoin addresses set in
the ContactInfo variable of the torrc and distributes Bitcoin donations
based on the consensus weight.
There are already 100+ relays listed which represent around 5% of the
total consensus weight. In just a few weeks they distributed around 125
US$.
There are many other theoretical ways to provide compensation to tor
relay operators (see
https://blog.torproject.org/blog/tor-incentives-research-roundup-goldstar-par-braids-lira-tears-and-torcoin)
but I really like this very simple and practical approach.
Thoughts?
