Title: Adding remittance field to directory specification

Note: Rejected. People are doing this with ContactInfo lines.

1. Motivation
|
|
|
|
We wish to add the ability for individual users to donate to the
|
|
owners of relay operators using a cryptocurrency. We propose adding
|
|
an optional line to the torrc file which will be published in the
|
|
directory consensus and listed on https://compass.torproject.org.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. Proposal
|
|
|
|
Allow an optional "RemittanceAddresses" line to the torrc file
|
|
containing comma-delimited cryptocurrency URIs. The format is:
|
|
|
|
RemittanceAddressses <currency1>:<address>1,<currency2>:<address2>
|
|
|
|
For an example using an actual bitcoin and namecoin address, this is:
|
|
|
|
RemittanceAddressses bitcoin:19mP9FKrXqL46Si58pHdhGKow88SUPy1V8,namecoin:NAMEuWT2icj3ef8HWJwetZyZbXaZUJ5hFT
|
|
|
|
The contents of a relay's RemittanceAddresses line will be mirrored in
|
|
the relay's router descriptor (which is then published in the
|
|
directory consensus). This line will be treated akin to the
|
|
ContactInfo field. A cryptocurrency address may not contain a colon,
|
|
comma, whitespace, or other nonprintable ASCII.
|
|
|
|
Like the ContactInfo line, there is no explicit length limit for
|
|
RemittanceAddressses---the only limit is the length of the entire
|
|
descriptor. If the relay lists multiple addresses of the same
|
|
currency type (e.g., two bitcoin addresses), only the first
|
|
(left-most) one of each currency is published in the directory
|
|
consensus.
