No, there no reason to set MyFamily when you only admin a single node.That said, I just followed the link you referenced, and it leaves my scratching head a little. The description of NodeFamily is:
"The Tor servers, defined by their identity fingerprints or nicknames, constitute a "family" of similar or co-administered servers, so never use any two of them in the same circuit. Defining a NodeFamily is only needed when a server doesn’t list the family itself (with MyFamily). This option can be used multiple times."
What? Suppose I operate 3 nodes. I could specifyMyFamily $00000000000000000000000000000000,$111111111111111111111111111111,$22222222222222222222222222222222
The doc says: NodeFamily node,node,… MyFamily node,node,…So how would a NodeFamily declaration differ from the 3-node MyFamily example above?

(I'm quite new here, but...) If you only run 1 node, is there any reason to set the Family? My reading of https://www.torproject.org/docs/tor-manual.html.en (MyFamily, NodeFamily) suggests that it's not relevant for the 1-node case. Thanks, Greg 2012/1/5 Tor Relays at brwyatt.net<tor@xxxxxxxxxxx>:Probably just misconfigured. If there are emails attached to the nodes you could try mailing them directly about it. brwyatt On Fri, 6 Jan 2012 01:29:42 +0100, "Aurel W."<aurel.w@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:Hi, when I browse through the list of relays I find many router names, which correlate in some way, but which don't specify a family in their descriptors.
