Hi all,
Nick sent an email in December[0] asking relay operators to opt-in as a fallback directory mirror. This will help tor clients reach the tor network, and reduce the load on directory authorities.[1]
We will keep the opt-ins and opt-outs submitted so far - no need to opt-in or opt-out again!
If you run an under-utilised exit, we encourage you to opt-in as a fallback directory. We've also fixed a major bug that excluded some relays from the list. (Thanks starlight!)
Here's the latest list of fallback directory candidates: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/attachment/ticket/15775/fallback_di... https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/attachment/ticket/15775/fallback_dirs.inc.20160112
This list was generated a few minutes ago from scripts/maint/updateFallbackDirs.py in my branch fallback-17887-17888-18035 on [2]. (This branch has some bug fixes compared to what's in master.)
Tim
