I have a gigabit internet hooked up for our coworking space, but due to the nature of businesses here, most of it goes unused. "1Gig internet" is a very good marketing message, so I am not going to downgrade. However, what should do I with unused bandwidth, ideally something that makes money?
A friend suggested running a Bitcoin miner, but that has a very long bayback period, assuming the price doesn't sink. Not convinced this is a good idea. Is there anything else worth doing? Thanks!
Run a Tor Bridge (not the same thing as a regular Tor relay). This helps people in oppressive regimes bypass Internet censorship (e.g., China's Great Firewall). The way it works is that bridge traffic is disguised to not look like Tor traffic, and there's no public list or other easy way to identify which computers are Tor Bridges, as there is for regular Tor relays.
