Hi,
Matthew Glennon:
Sorry - that was crass. Thanks for the attempt, but I've read those documents. Specifically, I'm looking into what has changed, if anything. Is it just below the threshold of the Weighted Uptime? (e.g. we have enough Guards?) I asked because I was told that the bwauth issues were holding people back before (because everyone was unmeasured). Since that was resolved but still no guard flag, I was becoming curious.
No intention to be crass. This is an open mailing with thousands subscribers and perhaps some people may have similar questions or want to find out how relay flags work.
As an additional resource the guard probability graphs in Tor metrics relay page of be of help to visually get some indications and for reference (perhaps) compare it to other relays.
I hope this may help someone.
Sorry again for any confusion and thanks for running relays.
Cheers, ~Vasilis
