Hi forest 
My second relay is not even month old. ive gotten the hsdir and guard flags already three times and get attacked right away. Now i had hsdir two days and yesterday evening i got guard and in the morning my tor client was crashed and logs told again what happened. The same thing. 

Im new to this and thinking about giving up. All the stats are f*cked again etc.
