Hi,
May i ask when the NTor handshake is going to be recommended by the majority of the directory authorities ?
It's probably not a surprise that i prefer NTor handshake as a relay operator. I checked constantly since the switch to 0.2.4.20 and the values are pretty constant. (35k TAP / 700 NTor).
I didn't notice any complaints so i assume that it should be possible to push forward. -- Mit freundlichen Grüssen / Sincerely yours

I believe it's recommended now by a majority of the authorities voting on it.. Looking at a recent microdesc consensus, I see:
params CircuitPriorityHalflifeMsec=30000 NumNTorsPerTAP=100 UseNTorHandshake=1 UseOptimisticData=1 bwauthpid=1 cbttestfreq=1000000 pb_disablepct=0
That "UseNTorHandshake" is what's turning it on for 0.2.4.x Tor clients with the default configuration.
(In 0.2.5.x, the ntor handshake is on by default no matter what the consensus says.)
