Re: [tor-relays] "Potentially dangerous relay groups"



Why isn't MyFamily a family name, instead of a list of members? I see no downside to having an unauthenticated advisory don't-route-through-me-if-you-also-route-through...

So, all of my nodes could have

MyFamilyName org.example

We're talking MyFamily, so it's you who is in control of all the nicknames,
and it's only by your whim they may or may not change.

Still did not see any concrete practical arguments to why fingerprints are
worth the additional hassle, especially when what we see in reality is
nicknames working there perfectly well and causing zero issues whatsoever for
years.
