[tor-relays] Oniontip

[Sebastian Urbach]

Hi,

Mike, your questions are all valid. Remember where this project is coming 
from. Donncha put this together at the Dublin Bitcoin Hackathon and it was 
designed to give back a little bit to the Relay Operators. I never expected 
anything in return for my relays but im glad that onintip exists and the 
approach seems to be to give everybody a little bit back based on the 
consensus.

Exit operators can get a lot of legal trouble and i acknowledge that but 
without Middle Relays, Guards, Bridges etc. TOR would not be possible. It 
seems to be always about the Exit's. There are different organizations for 
Exit's and now they should be preferred on oniontip.com ?

It is hard not to feel like a second class Relay operator when you don't 
run an Exit. Im happy that there is a possibility like oniontip and btw. 
there is nothing similar on the torproject website. You can donate to the 
torproject via bitcoin but there is no way to choose who should receive 
this donation like you can do on oniontip.com

Im not sure if it is necessary for oniontip to provide the best possible 
distribution of the donations from the projects point of view (diversity 
etc.) It seems to be a different approach just to give back to everybody 
and it has a certain amount of charme.

It is easy to use and it seems to be working and becoming more and more 
popular.

I like it.
