Re: [tor-relays] Consensus weight dropped



I concur. Maybe it's worth to also post to the bugtracker?

Thank you for your suggestion. I hope that is not the case and the drop in
consensus weight is just a temporary glitch. I will post to the
development mailing list to see if the techies can comment on this.

Paying hundreds of dollars of my hard earned money for a relay that is not being used by the network is not something I will keep doing for long. I support the goals and ideology of Tor, but the project will lose me as a
volunteer if consensus weight does not restore soon.

Thanks,
Bram

Weird.

Again the relays at the top of the list show the sharp drop in
consensus
weight end of december and a short spike around January 6th.

figuring out what happened will likely involve looking at the directory
authority votes to see if anything specific happened. One theory might
be that the addition of a new bwauth has shifted which vote gets picked
for the consensus. It's conceivable that bwauths rate relays which are
placed topologically close higher than others. I'm looking forward to
any analysis someone might do on this.

Cheers
