Re: [tor-dev] adding smartcard support to Tor

This may be not quite what you want, but the Estonia E-resident card supports basic crypto with the private key on the smart card---i.e., you have to physically have the card to be able to read the encrypted mail. There are probably more elegant solutions than plugging into the Estonia E-resident

Razvan, Your email is confusing. To host a Hidden Service you do not need to be a Tor node - we call them relays in the common terminology. So, a relay relays traffic for Tor clients. This will consume as much as you give. You can throttle the relay bandwidth rate / burst or limit the traffic con

Hello everyone, I'm working on an Internet of Things project and Tor will be a part of it (Hidden Services to be more precise). The nodes however may be battery powered or have slow (or metered) Internet connectivity, so I'm trying to estimate the traffic patterns for a fully functional Tor node.
