"Someone" is now arresting dozens of dark web black market operators too.

You mean Europol?

I am doing about 2 terabytes of relay traffic monthly on some cheap 15€/month server that serves my various other projects. It's fun and feels good. Takes minutes to set up. Join us! :)

Same here & have done this for years. I never come anywhere close to using the resources, myself, that even these cheap accounts provide. It feels good to donate the remainder to a noble cause. The Tor folks once sent me a lovely T-shirt for my contributions. Or Somebody did, maybe it was the No Such Agency's way of tagging me.

Sounds like Tor needs more donations:

I think they already said a while ago that "hidden services" are not a well researched feature of the Tor network, and the Tor Project is generally strapped for cash as it is.
