1000TB?
I guess you actually mean 1000 GB (=1TB)...?

You definitely should consider going somewhere with unmetered traffic,
since 1TB / month isn't a lot. The relay will hit the cap fast and
won't run for most of the month? IMHO this model doesn't scale well
with digital ocean's pricing.

You would be able to achieve a far bigger impact if you crowd source
bigger unmetered instances.. where you add an instance per sponsor.
Obviously that has to be transparent to the sponsor.

Do you have experience with running relays on 512MB of RAM?

given the limited available memory you probably don't want to run two
instances

You don't want to manage more than a hand full of relays without
central management. "never actually login" is IMHO not very realistic
long term.
