spurios warning about using the nickname instead of the key

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 I'm wondering why I suddenly got at both of my 2 Tor exit relays (0.3.2.2.-alpha, running at the same machine) the following message: /tmp/notice2.log:Oct 07 22:41:58.000 [warn] You specified a relay "zwiebeltoralf2" by name, but nicknames can be used by any relay, not just the one you meant. To make sure you get the same relay in the future, refer to it by key, as "$6EABEBF38CE7E3DF672C4DB01383606FE3EB2215". /tmp/notice.log:Oct 07 22:39:53.000 [warn] You specified a relay "zwiebeltoralf" by name, but nicknames can be used by any relay, not just the one you meant. To make sure you get the same relay in the future, refer to it by key, as "$1AF72E8906E6C49481A791A6F8F84F8DFEBBB2BA". when I queried the Tor status via a home-brewed Python script [1]. I do assume that the message is related to line 90 ot that script: flags = controller.get_network_status(relay=srv.nickname).flags Because I'm using the script few times per day I do wonder why this happens today for the first time at all (IIRC) and just only once.

What the fuck I didn’t even encrypt it >.> What I said was: Did you set MyFamily using nicknames of the key? Because if nickname, change it to key is basically what it’s saying.

Should have used throw-keyids ;) And/or it could be a proof...

Doessn't each fingerprint need to start with a $ character? Otherwise it's just a really long nickname, right? Scott Bennett, Comm.

No; nicknames are at most 20 characters long. Cheers Sebastian

Maybe they're truncated, but they still need to start with a $
If you would just read the manual page, you would gather that $ is optional.
