Please oh please help the Tor network. You will be eternally loved.

  Haha wow, you could set up a pretty impressive number of relays for that much money.

  Do I remember right that the Tor project wouldn't accept a very large number of relays from a single party because it gives too much influence over the network?

    IIRC, it takes about 50% of the network to do so. This is a waste of $100k though, as the network is only used by a small number of people, and this would be a permanent sinkhole of the money and these added servers would simply disappear after a year. This guy/gal definitely needs something more interesting. Perhaps something meaningful, or perhaps just something insanely cool. A temporary addition to an existing worker farm is not a great idea.

  It would be great to help Tor and set up a ton of relays. But then again how much can we trust Amazon? And unfortunately AWS doesn't allow exit nodes. A good alternative is Folding@Home
