Oops. Server = hidden service and node = relay. It made sense in my mind,
but precision is important. I'm already kinda tight on my bitcoin node
(190/256MB). Averaging 1MByte/s and 20 simultaneous connections, would it
be worth trying to squeeze a Tor hidden service in there? What are the
determinants of the memory use? Is it more # of connections or rate of
traffic?
