Hi All,
I am an undergraduate researcher at the University of Virginia looking into the
Tor Incentives Problem. I recently started running an exit-relay and plan on
finding effective ways of encouraging others to do so as well!
As a student of Computer Science and Anthropology, I am prioritizing both the
technical and social angles of Tor's ecosystem in my approach to this problem.
Thus far, many of the unanswered social questions regarding motivation and Tor
have barred progress in efforts to scale the relay community. It is my
objective to move this issue forward by conducting systematic research on the
human-systems underlying Tor while developing proposals grounded in these
socio-technical realities.
One idea I’ve had is to discuss these issues and potential approaches
one-on-one with some of the individuals currently operating relays. I think it
would be really helpful to hear your ideas, questions, and personal insights on
relay-volunteering and its future.
If you are interested please email me at [email protected] with dates/times
that would be convenient for a Skype or phone call. For general questions,
comments, concerns, etc. feel free to respond on the mailing list as well.
Thanks,
Ori
