[konstant] arma: Do you give this a thumbs up? https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-dev/2016-June/011108.html [arma] not necessarily? how much traffic is it? [arma] "just add more traffic" mostly hurts tor, alas [arma] since it doesn't really improve security, and it slows it down [arma] if we had a way to add more traffic in a way that helped, that would be grand [konstant] arma: I can't give an exact estimate without working metrics. Freenet has 10KiB/s minimum bandwidth requirement. Optimistically the max. number of nodes in Tor will be around a hundred [konstant] Does this land on the heavy side? [arma] konstant: so 1MB/s of traffic. that's not so bad really. if a few of those freenode nodes set themselves up as tor relays, it would balance out. [arma] the main rule is that if you're going to add traffic to tor, run some relays to match [arma] for hidden services, that's 1MB/s of traffic onto 6 places, so 6MB/s [konstant] I know the seednodes will have 24/7 uptime so they are good relay candidates [konstant] Imma post your responses on the dev ML for posterity
