Hello, About two days ago, I started running my first tor relay using a digital ocean vps instance. Yesterday, I found this nice article[1] about the life-cycle of a tor relay. It was a great read and I think I understanding of how tor works has improved quite a bit. Currently, my relay[2] whose up-time is roughly 2 days 18 hours doesn't have any active circuits ( via tor-arm). Since its in the unmeasured phase( days 0-3) shouldn't it be making circuits back to itself? I believe the number that was mentioned in the article was four. I apologize if my question seems silly. Thanks! -- Abhiram Chintangal I guess we agree with reason, but now it's a matter of disposition [1]https://blog.torproject.org/blog/lifecycle-of-a-new-relay [2]: https://atlas.thecthulhu.com/#details/0D63999A202B34EF1CD9669BC45B0A697D9BF2...

Welcome and i hope you are going to stay for a long time.

This is part of "the first contact" so to say and triggers the passive measuring. It is not permanent. -- Sincerely yours / Sincères salutations Sebastian Urbach ----------------------------------------- Definition of Tor: 10% luck, 20% skill, 15% concentrated power of will, 5% pleasure, 50% pain and 100% reason to remember the name! -----------------------------------------
