Humble Bundle!
by Griffin Boyce 17 Jan '17

17 Jan '17

So I was buying some video games (as you do) and decided to check if Tor was one of the charities supported by the Humble Bundle. Turns out Tor *is*, so I set my preferences to always select Tor by default when buying games there. 1) It was a little surprising because I'd not heard any recent updates on this. 2) It's cool that Humble Bundle allows default orgs. 3) Someone should tweet this from the official account! :D 3b) Or maybe I missed an update on this ^_^;; best, Griffin -- Accept what you cannot change, and change what you cannot accept.

The tor network is constrained by.... (meek, exits, etc)
by Tom Ritter 17 Jan '17

17 Jan '17

I am continually getting asked this question and then asked to back it up. I'm hoping the metrics team might be able to guide me here.... Firstly, while we don't have (public) datasets showing this, I am fairly certain that the public meek bridges have their bandwidth capped (to limit costs) and raising that cap would directly improve the speed of meek users. (Implying that the bottleneck the majority of the time is the meek transport.) Right? Secondly, I know it's too simplistic to say "Our exits are operating at 85% of capacity, our guards are 65% and our middles at 40%" (for a host of reasons, including guard/middle overlap) but how close can we get to something simple that demonstrates more exits will help the (non-bridge) network the most? (If that is in fact the case!) I might have more questions to relay, but for now these seem to be the main ones. -tom

We love your amazing Tor pixel artwork!
by isis agora lovecruft 09 Jan '17

09 Jan '17

Hello Bruno! I've come across some of your awesome pixel art around the internet before, [0] but I had no idea that you had made a Tor logo, [1] until I saw that Dell Cameron used it for a recent article in the Daily Dot. [2] THIS IS THE BEST. Seriously, this makes me so excited and proud. So I was thinking it would be cool if there were some way that Tor users and relay operators could get merch, like T-shirts, stickers, and such, with your Tor logo art on it, but, as the artist, you should get compensation for it. I'm just a developer and not really savvy on artwork licensing, merch sites, or payment processing, so I'm not sure how to best make this happen. Perhaps one of my colleagues in CC might know more and be better able to help set this up? Again, thanks so much for the Tor art, and also all your other fan art, it's all REALLY cool. Also, if you made more logos and stuff for us… I might die. Your art is amazing. We have some tickets [3] for ideas for graphic design work and we need some other logo design (e.g. I think we still need a finalised Tor Labs logo?), but—as you can see—this is clearly not our forté.
