UX INTERVIEW [after survey] draft - for Tor Relay Operators to understand their motivations for running Tor Relays

This interview draft should focus on understanding and filling in gaps from the user survey hosted here: https://survey.torproject.org/index.php/459487

Tasks:

• Ask what can be done to better support relay operators and promote community.
• Ask what works and what keeps them motivated.
• Ask what felt missing in the survey that they would like to talk about.

This survey is part of the gamification project for Tor Relay Operators - Mapping values and motivations of the Tor network

Our goals with this project are to find ways to meet these goals (and more):

• Promoting network diversity
• Attracting more + faster relays
• Promoting operating system diversity
• Building a trusted relay community

Interview Draft:

15 minutes:

• How did you get involved with Tor?
• What other projects have you volunteered for before?
• How has your general volunteering experience been outside of Tor?
• Have you tried running relays or something similar for non-Tor organizations? How was your experience?
• Have you heard about projects that incentivize node operators with tokens or cryptocurrency? What do you think about this idea?
• Do you have cryptowallets attached to your relays? (from oniontip)
• What has been Tor's most effective communication channel? Where/when have you felt the most seen/heard?
• What kind of activities do you expect at meetups going forward?
• Are/were you a part of a relay organization? If yes, how different is/was your relay running experience in a relay organization (compared to running relays as an individual)?
• Would you like to recruit more people into your relay organization?
• Have you heard about the Contact Information Sharing Specification? Do you think relay operators should adopt this specification? Are you applying this spec in your relays?
• Have you participated on the relay gamification project Roster, Relay Awards. What are your thoughts about it? team#2 (moved)

**5-8 minutes: (Optional)**
Speak freely about your relay running experience, tips and insights you have for us, anything you'd like to add to things we discussed.
