Thanks for the informations.

Is it right that most (all?) relays are not older than mid of March? 
If so please take a look at
https://blog.torproject.org/lifecycle-of-a-new-relay/ .

As for as I see the relay status page shows not a single relay with a
HsDir flag and no uptime above 2 days.

Gaining a trustful relay with good traffic needs much more time alive
of the relays (keys). Easily 3 to 6 months.

The relays are on up to date Tor versions 4.8.15 and 4.8.16 what is
good!

My recommendation is to let them brew for 2 months. The situation will
change.

Cheers and happy relaying, Felix
