I'm working on research for monetizing Tor relays, providing an incentive to relay operators. It's called TorCoin. We introduce an alternative cryptocurrency, like Bitcoin, to reward relay operators for transferring bandwidth. Rather than being CPU intensive, it's bandwidth intensive -- so one TorCoin represents a certain amount of bandwidth transferred.
We will be presenting our research at the HotPETS privacy workshop in Amsterdam in July [1]. Here's a link to the paper if you're interested (I'm Miles). [2] Keep in mind it's an early draft.
