Greetings all. I follwed the above instructions on my relay. Upon restarting Tor I have lost all of my flags and I have a new fingerprint. Previously I had the Fast, Guard, Named, Running, Stable, and Valid flags. Is this expected? Did I miss a step somewhere? Thanks for any help.
Yes. You made it generate new keys, so it is a "new relay" as far as Tor is concerned. This is why not everybody should generate new keys immediately, especially larger relays. But don't worry too much, you'll get your flags back eventually. :)
I worry about TOR capacity for the next couple of weeks, if most TOR nodes are regenerating keys and going to the probation period. Mine are.
I worry too about onion services. Changing onion addresses is really painful for everybody, and users are going to be quite annoyed.
