Title: Help speed up Tor; donate bandwidth
Post by: madamebradley on December 21, 2011, 07:48 pm
Anybody with a decent internet connection can help speed up the Tor network, and consequently access to Silk Road, by configuring tor to act as a relay. Check out information on it here: https://www.torproject.org/docs/tor-doc-relay.html.en

If you have a slow DSL or cable connection then this probably isn't for you, but if you have a fast internet connection like fiber that gives you 20/20, then please look into it.

Setting up a bridge, instead of a relay, will help too. And https://cloud.torproject.org/ makes it cheap and easy.

If for some reason you can't set up a relay/bridge you can donate something to these guys:
https://www.torproject.org/donate/donate.html.en
or
https://www.torservers.net/            (accepting bitcoin)
I think that especially people that make profits here on SR should really consider to contribute in some way to the tor project. :)
