[bisq-network/proposals] Discontinue tor relay operator role (Issue #363)

We support the Tor network right now with 4 Tor relay nodes with a total for 19.06 MiB/s advertised bandwidth.
My proposal is the discontinuation of the tor relay operator role.
I would argue that the traffic from the Bisq Network alone is a net positive for Tor, better anonymization for all.
AFAIK there is no bandwidth problem in the Tor network. Also 19Mbit/s is not really much.

I would prefer to discontinue the role before we starting to expand it.
There are new people who would like to run tor nodes for Bisq. I think this gives the wrong incentives. It would be better to get people run services direct for Bisq, instead of indirect services. 
See relay operator role: https://github.com/bisq-network/roles/issues/72


An option to additionally support Tor would be to tell our users to run a bridge if they can.
There seems to be a need for Tor bridges at the moment.


I would like to ask the DAO for the final decision on this.

If you support this proposal to discontinue tor relay operator role, please up vote the DAO proposal, otherwise down vote it.
