Overall I like the idea, since it forces no one to participate. Nodes not interested in getting bitcoin donations, just don't get any.
What about bridges? Any way to reward them as well?

Who or what verifies that they really severed the bandwidth they advertised?

Posting constructive ideas is always good. Even if the idea doesn't make it, maybe another idea based or inspired by your idea may come up. -- tor-talk mailing list - [email protected] To unsusbscribe or change other settings go to https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
