Here's a related way to maybe add a ton of new relays to the Tor network without having to go all "transparent through virtual network interface" right from the start:
1. Make a torrent tracker that serves out peer onion addresses (OAs?) instead of IPs;
2. Fork Popcorn Time, make it create a hidden service for itself and connect to the OA tracker;
3. Make the Popcorn Time fork also a relay by default. You'll add a lot of load to the network, so you have to give back.
Probably wouldn't be able to _stream_ anything, but otherwise should work.
