Hi Sqrrm.

There was previously the Oniontip site that supported relay and exit owners. It would be worth you reviewing that project on github as Tor infrastructure components were rewarded according to their throughput and consensus weight.

The distributed bitcoin exchange Bisq is reliant on Tor as a communication layer and as such dependent on its stability. To support the network we're looking at incentivizing contributors to run their own Tor relay nodes. For this we need some recommendations on what setup is needed as a minimum to be actually useful for the network.

I've run a relay node on a dedicated server which seems to be quite a bit of overkill, preferably it would run on as cheap a vps as possible.

I've been checking on metrics.torproject.org on stats for my own node, is that the best way to monitor the nodes?

If this doesn't seem worthwhile pursuing, please let me know why and I'll stop.

Cheers
