My relatively new Tor relay has somehow managed to get a Guard flag without having the Stable flag, I'm not sure if this is supposed to happen though..? https://atlas.torproject.org/#details/ABF5C38A93F2D7E77A226871AB0ADB052279B4...

Looks like the issue is fixed now - no Guard flag. (Possibly because you restarted it?) I've also seen some relays get the Stable flag much earlier than I expected (after 4 days). I think the flags might change a bit more than they used to, with only 7 directory authorities up.

Looks like the guard flag already fell off. In any case I wouldn't worry about this. I think clients probably wouldn't choose a guard without the stable flag?

I think this is OK. The patch that required Stable flag for Guard flag only got merged recently: https://atlas.torproject.org/#details/ABF5C38A93F2D7E77A226871AB0ADB052279B4... I'm not sure how many dirauths run a Tor version with that patch. Looking at consensus-health it seems like only two dirauths vote for you as guard, so you don't get the flag anymore. Search for your relay name at: https://consensus-health.torproject.org/consensus-health.html

Well, the flag seems to be staying now, I guess it doesn't hurt anything though. On Wed, Aug 17, 2016 at 9:46 PM, Ivan Markin <twim@riseup.net> wrote:

Seems to be the case indeed: https://consensus-health.torproject.org/consensus-health-2016-08-19-11-00.ht... Now that things stabilized, everyone is voting Guard flag except from moria1 :)
