So - what's the metric for calling a middle relay "useful"? Is it the total number of bytes that it relays daily? https://atlas.torproject.org/#details/707A9A3358E0D8653089AF32A097570A96400C C6 is sending about 0.85 GB every 24 hours. Is it a "useful" relay?

Re: [tor-relays] Unwarranted discrimination of relays with dynamic IP

Thank you @Gamby for echoing my sentiment. While there can be a good tech reason for considering small relays useless, the small relay operators MUST be properly and openly advised about how useful or useless their relays are. I even have read about someone's suggestion of gamification of

Re: [tor-relays] Unwarranted discrimination of relays with dynamic IP

I have followed this for some time with interest, because I've run 2 relays from "home" connections for over 2 years - at on point three, all on unused older laptops. I have an Archer C7 which can handle 31k connections (theoretically) and have never had issues. My IP address changes maybe 3
