[bisq-network/roles] Tor Relay Operator (#72)

[Aleksej Jocic]

@ManfredKarrer it is really simple to be honest. You just need to install Tor with "apt-get install tor", uncomment "RunAsDeamon 1" and "ORPort 9001" option in /etc/tor/torrc.

Those two are the only required options, but of course there are all kinds of nice little options under that "just for relays" section in torrc file. You can setup a DNS address so the relay isn't just known by the IP, you can setup a nickname for the node so you can recognize it by more then just a fingerprint.
Adding contact info is also cool so they can contact you if something is wrong.

Only options that is concerning security is the "MyFamily" option where you list fingerprints of your other nodes.
The rest is just some specifics if you want. For example uncommenting "DirPort" if you got decent bandwidth.

Personally I would love to run a relay on a VPS one day, as I like running them whenever I am in position to do so, at least a bridge if nothing else, but currently I am not is position to do so for Bisq.
I am looking forward to it in future though.
