Hey Tim,
Just out of curiosity, if one doesn't care about the discover-ability of their onion service, is there any other reason to not run a relay and hidden service?
I have an onion service and relay running on separate machines, but I was wondering if I could also run a relay on the same machine hosting the onion service and add it as a 'family' with the other relay. I do not mind if someone knows the location of my onion service, as I mainly use it to force readers to use Tor, and offer end-to-end encryption by default.
Thanks, Wilton Tim Wilson-Brown - teor:

Please check your torrc configuration. It's not secure to run your hidden service as a relay as well. Whenever your relay goes down, your hidden service will as well. People can use this to find your hidden service address.
